Bibliography of the history of the Caucasus
This is a select bibliography of English language books (including translations) and journal articles about the history of the Caucasus.

The External Links section contains entries for publicly available select bibliographies from universities. This bibliography specifically excludes non-history related works and self-published books. Inclusion criteria
Geographic scope of the works include the present day areas of: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and the Ciscaucasia region in southern Russia. Works about the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea are included when they relate to the history of the Caucasus. Included works should either be published by an academic or notable publisher, or be authored by a notable subject matter expert and have reviews in significant scholarly journals. Formatting and citation style
This bibliography uses APA style citations. Entries do not use templates; references to reviews and notes for entries do use citation templates. Where books which are only partially related to the history of the Caucasus are listed, the titles for chapters or sections should be indicated if possible, meaningful, and not excessive. If a work has been translated into English, the translator should be included and a footnote with appropriate bibliographic information for the original language version should be included. When listing book titles with alternative English spellings, the form used in the latest published version should be used and the version and relevant bibliographic information noted if it previously was published or reviewed under a different title.
