# Bibliography ## expand\_more ## [Plate Stacks](#bibplatestacks) | [DASCH](#bibDASCH) | [Women Astronomical Computers](#bibWomen) | [Project PHaEDRA](#bibPhaedra) This is a growing collection of bibliographic resources related to published works created with or about the Harvard Plate Stacks and the different active and historic projects we have undertaken. Our main [Women Astronomical Computers page](/women-at-hco "Women Astronomical Computers at the Harvard College Observatory") lists individual female scientists from our history and includes a growing list of individual research resources, archival materials, and citiations across time and in repositories at Harvard and around the world. The Harvard Plate Stacks also holds a growing collection of primary and secondary resources related to the history of women in astronomy beyond the history of our collection and across the globe. To learn more visit our [Women in Astronomy Bibliographies page](/women-astronomy-bibliographies "Bibliography of Women in Astronomy") to find more of these resources. ## Plate Stacks Download 15 citations download- [BibTeX](/bibcite/export?pager_style=no_pager&number_of_items=50&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_reference_catagory%5D%5B0%5D%5Btarget_id%5D=151&&&format=bibtex) - [EndNote X3 XML](/bibcite/export?pager_style=no_pager&number_of_items=50&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_reference_catagory%5D%5B0%5D%5Btarget_id%5D=151&&&format=endnote8) - [EndNote 7 XML](/bibcite/export?pager_style=no_pager&number_of_items=50&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_reference_catagory%5D%5B0%5D%5Btarget_id%5D=151&&&format=endnote7) - [Endnote tagged](/bibcite/export?pager_style=no_pager&number_of_items=50&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_reference_catagory%5D%5B0%5D%5Btarget_id%5D=151&&&format=tagged) - [Marc](/bibcite/export?pager_style=no_pager&number_of_items=50&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_reference_catagory%5D%5B0%5D%5Btarget_id%5D=151&&&format=marc) - [PubMedId](/bibcite/export?pager_style=no_pager&number_of_items=50&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_reference_catagory%5D%5B0%5D%5Btarget_id%5D=151&&&format=pubmed_id) - [RIS](/bibcite/export?pager_style=no_pager&number_of_items=50&sort_field=bibcite_year--desc&taxonomy_filters%5Bfield_reference_catagory%5D%5B0%5D%5Btarget_id%5D=151&&&format=ris) ### 2024 Von Mertens, Anna, Jennifer L.
