In this list and in List of Carnegie libraries in Pennsylvania there is a column headed "Location" but so far I have not found any list with data in that column. Should this be coordinates, or street address? In the Philadelphia list, I would like to have both, but I have hesitated to add an additional column without feedback from other editors. I have several photos of Carnegie libraries in Wikimedia Commons ready for a link in the Philadelphia list. Feedback, please! --DThomsen8 (talk) 13:07, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PhillyHistory.org publishes a a so-called "blog" of history articles by professional historians; this includes an article about Carnegie and the Philadelphia libraries.[3]
This is not a "blog" in the sense of self-published opinions; reliability-wise, it's like the news blogs some news outlets have.
I have no particular opinion on merging these articles. When I originally created lists for each U.S. state (and some international regions), the primary Carnegie library article had a hodgepodge of incomplete lists (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Carnegie_library&oldid=294531252). Because Carnegie had issued a single large grant to New York City and a similar grant to Philadelphia, I surmised that local editors with better access to primary sources might be able to construct regional narratives for how the communities ultimately used those grants. (List of Hennepin County Library branches shows a fine example.) @A. B.'s note above confirms such sources exist for Philadelphia's story, but sources on library history tend to be old and hard to find. McMillin24contribstalk18:32, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would still support merging. The sources above can certainly still be included in a state-level article, with myabe a prose subsection describing the Free Library buildings. Reywas92Talk17:10, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
