Welcome to the home page of the Pennsylvania Geographical Society
THE LATEST EDITION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA GEOGRAPHER IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD
The Pennsylvania Geographer is now an open access journal and (still) free of publication charges. We can do that because we have a dedicated funding stream, the E. Willard and Ruby S. Miller Publication Fund. It allows us to offset all costs associated with the publication of the journal, which primarily involves the printing and distribution of the physical
copies. Every copy of the Pennsylvania Geographer is now available for download from our website.
