Purdon’s Pennsylvania Statutes is an unofficial consolidation of the statutes of Pennsylvania. The state's statutes are organized into 79 topic groups, ranging from "Aeronautics" to "Zoning," spread across 107 volumes. An alternate publication, "Purdon's Pennsylvania Statutes Annotated," includes the text of statutes, as well as cross-references, footnotes, and commentary developed over two centuries. The annotated version is comparable to the United States Code Annotated.
In 2007, the Pennsylvania General Assembly struck a deal with Thomson West to post an unofficial version of the statutes for free online, making it the last state to freely provide its statutes online.
