Almanacs Published by States or Countries

The collection includes almanacs from New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Missouri and Hawaii, as well as from countries such as France, Portugal, Germany, Cuba, and Mexico.

Some of these almanacs were published in other languages, including French, German, Hungarian, Iroquois, Spanish and Swedish.

Almanacs that defy classification

  • Davy Crockett's Almanack
  • Illustrated Phrenological Almanac
  • Magnetic Almanac
  • Tragic Almanac

There are even a few items that claim to be almanacs but are really just collections of facts, such as Spalding's Official Athletic Almanac, which is a list of sports statistics.
