I've listed this article for peer review because the article hasn't been reviewed in several years, and my intent is to help elevate the article to A-level and FA-level quality.

Hi! Taking a brief look, I would encourage you to find more newspaper articles on the earlier history of the road. Maps do tell when a road was built, but don't provide any perspective as to why the road was built. Of course, if a map is the only way to source a date, that's perfectly fine. Also WP:HWY/ACR has changed around a bit, I don't know if that was when you were still active. --Rschen7754 09:03, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
- This was also a few years ago but Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Assessment/A-Class review/Pennsylvania Route 39 may still be partially relevant. --Rschen7754 09:06, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the links! As to more articles on the earlier history - what would be recommended ways of researching? PA 39's history has proven somewhat difficult to uncover, compared to other PA routes. --hmich176 12:27, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
- If you have access to newspaper archives that's one good way, be it through a university or a public library, or sometimes free (Wikipedia:List of online newspaper archives). User:Imzadi1979 may have other ideas too. --Rschen7754 19:53, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
- I primarily use two websites to search for newspaper articles: Google News and http://www.newspaperarchive.com/ For the latter, anyone can read up to two articles per day and do unlimited searches. I paid for a subscription to the service, so I can pull as many articles as I like, and I can export them as PDFs as needed. Google News returns articles they've scanned from microfilm as well as items behind paywalls. In some cases with both services, I've found articles run from the Associated Press or United Press International newswires that were printed in papers a ways from the subject roadway. If you can find an article you'd like to see, there are ways that other wikipedians can help get you access to it. Imzadi 1979 → 20:04, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
- My subscription to NewspaperArchive.com expired early last month, so until I have some expendable funds for that purpose (probably for another few months yet) I won't have that as a good source. I'll try looking through there, see if there's anything I can find and link it to people on Wikipedia to see if I can get assistance. --hmich176 18:07, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
