The Encyclopedia of Cleveland History is a historical reference work covering Greater Cleveland and the Northeast Ohio community. It was the first modern study of an American city published in encyclopedia format.[1] It had two print editions (1987 and 1996) before moving online, becoming the first encyclopedia of a major American city on the Internet. The Encyclopedia is currently published digitally in collaboration with Case Western Reserve University and the Western Reserve Historical Society.
