Mapping the Wheatley Census

The map below represents the locations of libraries and collections holding copies of the first six editions of Phillis Wheatley’s Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. These are the editions printed in the eighteenth century. Data was exported from the Census on 11/15/2025 and represents the state of the Census at that time. Some locations are misrepresented at this time due to faulty latitude and longitude coordinates. The map will be updated iteratively and notice provided here to document versions.

Clicking on a book icon will bring up detailed information about the library/collection that holds a copy or copies, the WC numbers of the copies they hold, the total number of copies held there, and links to the census records for each copy.
