Bibliography of the history of Poland

This is a select bibliography of English language books (including translations) and journal articles about the history of Poland. A brief selection of English translations of primary sources is included. Book entries have references to journal articles and reviews about them when helpful. Additional bibliographies can be found in many of the book-length works listed below; see Further reading for several book and chapter-length bibliographies. The External links section contains entries for publicly available select bibliographies from universities and national libraries. This bibliography specifically excludes non-history related works and self-published books.

Inclusion criteria

Geographic scope of the works include the present day and historical areas of Poland. Works about Eastern Europe, Lithuania and Ukraine are included when they contain substantial material related to the history of the Poland.

Included works should either be published by an academic or notable publisher, or be authored by a notable subject matter expert and have reviews in significant scholarly journals.

Formatting and citation style

This bibliography uses APA style citations. Entries do not use templates; references to reviews and notes for entries do use citation templates.
