An important source for the dissertation were the Weyhe Gallery scrapbooks. The scrapbooks can be consulted at The New York Public Library's Print Room, and at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The dissertation could not have been written without the assistance of Gertrude Weyhe Dennis (1915-2003), daughter of Erhard Weyhe. The Weyhe Gallery is today run by Deborah Kiley, Erhard Weyhe's granddaughter, libris@prexar.com.
