Deutsch-amerikanische Kalender des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts / German-American Almanacs of the 18th and 19th Centuries Bibliographie und Kommentar / Bibliography and Commentary

From the 18th to the 20th century, German-language almanacs played an important role in the U.S. During this period, thousands of individual volumes appeared that offered advice, articles, advertisements, information, calendars, etc. in the German language. Significant sources for the long tradition of German-American cultural transfer, these almanacs reveal mental dispositions and convey ideological discourses that were relevant at the time in question. This repertory offers a bibliography of German-language series published in the U.S. between 1747 and the Second World War, as well as an extensive research commentary.
