Bibliography of California history

This is a bibliography of California history. It contains English language (including translations) books and mainstream academic journal articles published after World War II.

Inclusion criteria

This list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all works about California history. It is limited to works primarily or substantially about California history, published by state level or higher academic universities, mainstream national level publishers, or authored by recognized subject matter experts.[a]

Works about Baja California before 1850 are included. Works regarding historical geography, and California's natural history are included, but works about municipal and local history are excluded. Notes are provided for annotations and citations for reviews in academic journals when helpful.

Citation style

This bibliography uses APA style citations. Entries do not use templates. References to reviews and notes for entries do use citation templates. Where books which are only partially related to California history are listed, the titles for chapters or sections should be indicated if possible, meaningful, and not excessive.

If a work has been translated into English, the translator should be included and a footnote with appropriate bibliographic information for the original language version should be included if possible.

When listing works with titles or names published with alternative English spellings, the form used in the latest published version should be used and the version and relevant bibliographic information noted if it previously was published or reviewed under a different title.
Cite error: There are <ref group=lower-alpha> tags or {{efn}} templates on this page, but the references will not show without a {{reflist|group=lower-alpha}} template or {{notelist}} template (see the help page).
