Everyone,
A recent grad school project has provided the opportunity to merge one of my favorite recreational interests (Greyhawk) with my scholastic duties.
I'm compiling an annotated bibliography of all 3E & 3.5E books which contain Greyhawk material. As WotC has released several books since 2000, I don't own everything, so I'm not sure which books have GH material & which don't. I've decided to exclude Living Greyhawk adventures, Dragon, Dungeon, & anything that mentions Greyhawk simply in passing (such as "'blank' has stats for a cleric of Pelor").
Some examples would be:
Deities & Demigods: Has stats & other info for several Greyhawk deities.
Drow of the Underdark: Has an entire chapter devoted to the drow city of Erelhei-Cinlu.
Dungeon Master's Guide II: Provides extensive detail on the town of Saltmarsh.
Epic Level Handbook: Has stats for Mordenkainen, Eclavdra, & Robilar.
Expedition to the Demonweb Pits: Includes information on Eclavdra & the drow of Oerth.
Fiendish Codex I: Contains info on the Queen of Chaos, the Battle of Pesh, Miska the Wolf-Spider, & Ilsidahur.
Player's Handbook: Includes details on several Greyhawk deities.
Player's Handbook II: Includes a number of affiliations with Greyhawk ties, such as the Order of the Chalice and Restenford guilds.
Slayer's Guide to Dragons: Contains a Gygax adventure, "The Revenge of Ghorkai." Though not Greyhawk per-see, the map is an exact duplicate of the Yatils, and a character called "The Mother of Witches" is certainly an allusion to Iggwilv.
Sword & Fist: Provides details on the Knight Protectors of the Great Kingdom.
The finished product will include author & publisher info, as well as more extensive annotation. Any help will be appreciated. I plan on sharing this project, once finished, with my fellow Greyhawk fans, and will acknowledge any aid I receive in the credits.
Thanks,
Rob

And you forgot a biggie:
RETURN TO THE TEMPLE OF ELEMENTAL EVIL
Caeruleus is right about Complete Divine having info on "secondary" Greyhawk deities (Chapter 5). In addition, Complete Divine contains a small writeup of the Theocracy of the Pale (pg. 130-131); the writeup is given as an example of a nationwide, theocratic church.
Complete Arcane has 2 references. There's the Suel Arcanamach prestige class (pg. 63), which discusses the powerful arcane magic of the Ancient Suel Empire. Then there's Tarth Moorda (pg. 12): Tarth Moorda is a warmage college commissioned by Duke Karl of Urnst, and hidden away in the Abbor-Alz hills.
Good luck!
Dungeon of Castle Blackmoor is de facto a Greyhawk supplement, since it is just a mainly generic dungeon that, according to the info given on BM, can be used without any substantial alteration as the Castle Blackmoor in WoG.
Suel Arcanamach
Otiluke's spells
Complete Adventurer
Fochlucan Lyrist (bringing back an old school style bard)
Complete Divine
Temple Raider of Olidammara
All the other deity references
Expanded Psionics
Fist of Zuoken

Expanded Psionics
Fist of Zuoken
Right. And at the back of that book, they also have info on Zuoken himself.
And, IIRC, there should be some writeups on organizations devoted to the core D&D gods in Complete Champion.
Apologies for the crossposting.

Awesome project!
Yes, Complete Champion has a wealth of Greyhawk references.
I don't own Complete Scoundrel, but it features legendary sites called Heward's Hall and Olidammara's Shell.
Complete Divine has a number of Greyhawk-themed prestige classes, including the Ur-Priest (which many believe to be tied to the Ur-Flan).
Complete Mage has a number of Greyhawk-themed arcane locations, including: Bigby's Tomb, Boccob's Reading Room, and the Crypt of Wee Jas. It also includes the Staff of Malediction (created by Vecna's priesthood) and Heward's Fortifying Bedroll, and spells such as Bigby's Slapping Hand, Melf's Slumber Arrows, Mordenkainen's Trusted Bloodhound, Otiluke's Suppressing Field, Otto's Imperative Ambulation, Rary's Arcana Conversion, Touch of Vecna, and Vecna's Malevolent Whisper.
Complete Warrior: section on deities (from the WoG) and warriors; the Ravagers (organization/PrC) worship Erythnul; the Eye of Gruumsh is another relevant PrC.
Heroes of Horror: includes three suggestions for horror-themed campaigns in Greyhawk.
Heroes of Battle: includes a non-too-subtle reference to the giant legions from G1-3 in the Battlefield Encounters section. Spells include Leomund's Billet.
Book of Exalted Deeds: Vassal of Bahamut PrC.
Book of Vile Darkness: Numerous demons and related PrCs/magic items with roots in Greyhawk.
Anyway, that's a by no means comprehensive start...
When is this project supposed to be completed by?

End of July.
BTW, I should have mentioned that products that mention spell names alone & tips for incorporating X setting/campaign/etc into Greyhawk would probably not be included.
After reading what's been posted thus far, it looks like I'm gonna have to buy some more stuff for my personal collection.
L
Player's Handbook II had Robilar's Gambit (feat).
Dragon Magazine #315 and #319 had Regional Feats of Oerth.
Arms and Equipment Guide has a number of magic items associated with Greyhawk, including an axe associate with the Principality of Ulek. I think Weapons of Legacy does, too.
Fiendish Codex I & II are practically Greyhawk books.
Dungeon Magazine has had numerous resources about Greyhawk, including a three-part Istivin story arc that references the GDQ series.
I.E. WeeJas's Castle is located on the Fourth Layer of Acheron

How's the project coming along?
It is by far the most definitive Greyhawk adventure of the 3.0/3.5 era. My opinion is that you would be missing a HUGE part of Greyhawk lore if you were to disregard this adventure path.
I do understand your reasoning for not including adventures from Dungeon magazine in your project, but if you were to read the Age of Worms adventure path, you would find that it contains an amazing amount of 3.5 Greyhawk information.

I agree, but there's just so much of it, I really don't have the time to comb through it all. Plus, most GH fans already know that Dragon & Dungeon are good GH sources, but I suspect far fewer know of the hidden tidbits buried in "mainstream" D&D sourcebooks.
I partially ask this because when I do think about this setting (and I do so rarely) I think of this area of Oerth. In fact in some stories that I have yet to write, I *borrow* the lupin of Mystara and plant them here as allies and members of the rangers. The bonus they get against werewolves are either a) negated entirely for balance or b) switched to gnolls or some other monster more commonly found in the Gnarley. Gnarley lupin have a similar relationship with the gnolls that most elves have with the drow in that they recognize each other as kin but each has chosen a different path which has made them eternal enemies.
