Pennsylvania Department

Since its conception in 1895, the Library has made an effort to build an extensive collection of materials on the history of Pennsylvania. In 1928 these materials were consolidated to form the Pennsylvania Department.

I've often made the trek down to the Pennsylvania Room at the Oakland branch of the Carnegie library for some of
my research. I enjoy working in an area where I am surrounded by resources and folks eager to assist in genealogy searches.

Only recently have I noticed that the Ancestry library is available at other
Carnegie locations. So if you are looking to use the Ancestry.com online site, you do not have to go as far as Oakland.
Contact your local library for details.
