Article from Ellen Teller Elletelle@aol.com in MISSING LINKS ************************************************************************* I recently visited the Heinz Pittsburgh Regional History Center and the sixth floor archives for a behind the scenes tour. I was there to see records of glass manufacturers. However, this is a genealogical treasure house. I was amazed to find they have more than 500,000 photographs that document the history of Western Pennsylvania http://www.pghphotos.org/ plus many other records. Reproductions can be ordered. In some cases they have information from nearby states. That elusive photograph of your ancestor might be in the records of the company that your ancestor worked for. Perhaps everyone else knows about this center. It was formerly an ice house and is located in Pittsburgh's Strip District. Just the construction of the building alone was fascinating. The Web site is http://www.pghhistory.org . They are happy to receive all kinds of papers from companies and people who don't know what to do with them but feel that they should be preserved. The Reference Desk (412)454-6364 can also help you find out whether they might have what you want.
