This is a COMPLETE bibliography of publications in the Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society (CODEN PAPCAA, ISSN 0003-049X (print), 2326-9243 (electronic)) for the half century 1800--1849.
The American Philosophical Society was founded in 1743 by Benjamin Franklin and others, and the Society's Transactions journal began publishing in 1771.
The Proceedings began in 1838, but the contents were largely meeting minutes until 1860, with an occasional technical article through 1869. The contents begin to look like a modern journal about 1870. However, Volume 22 in 1885 contains reprints of historical material that begins with a letter from Benjamin Franklin dated 5 April 1774.
Like Nature and Science, the Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society cover broad areas of physical and life sciences, with a bit of mathematics, a considerable amount of anthropology, archaeology, astronomy, geology, linguistics, sociology, and technology, together with a reasonable number of articles that can be classed as history of science.

Data for this bibliography have been derived almost entirely from the JSTOR archives. There is a four-year moving window before the current year for which no metadata are available.
Numerous errors in the sources noted above have been corrected. Spelling has been verified with the UNIX spell and GNU ispell programs using the exception dictionary stored in the companion file with extension .sok.
BibTeX citation tags are uniformly chosen as name:year:abbrev, where name is the family name of the first author or editor, year is a 4-digit number, and abbrev is a 3-letter condensation of important title words. Citation tags were automatically generated by software developed for the BibNet Project.
In this bibliography, entries are sorted in publication order, using ``bibsort -byvolume''.
The checksum field above contains a CRC-16 checksum as the first value, followed by the equivalent of the standard UNIX wc (word count) utility output of lines, words, and characters. This is produced by Robert Solovay's checksum utility.
