The publication policy of the ECHS is directed to the publishing of original research on the local history of Erie County and the surrounding region, and to reprint primary and secondary materials of the area which are no longer available to the general public. The active encouragement of writers of recent local history is also a goal.

The Journal of Erie Studies
The Journal of Erie Studies was launched as a joint scholarly venture by the Erie County Historical Society and Mercyhurst College in 1972. Both institutions continued to co-sponsor the journal for the next twenty years. Beginning in 1993 the Erie County Historical Society assumed sole responsibility for publication. Members of the Mercyhurst history faculty remained interested in and cooperative with JES since then. Mercyhurst students' theses and other papers have continued to comprise a major component of the studies reported in JES to date.
