I highly recommend you explore the Pitt Archives website, Larry. They've got a huge collection of ethnic churches and also Archives of Industrial [Pittsburgh] Society. Check out their Digital Collections, too! Actually the HISTORICAL PITTSBURGH website is a collaboration between about 4-5 groups including the Pitt Archives. The Darlington Library has a grand bunch of historic Pittsburgh/Allegheny County maps, some really unusual. Photograph collections, postcard collections and much more. Here's the page for their genealogical and family history resources guide: <http://www.library.pitt.edu/libraries/archives/documents/AIS_Family_Researc h_Guide.pdf> Have fun! Cari Ps. I last visited the Pitt archives in person about July 2006; they'd just moved to the new location (well, new....then) at 7500 Thomas Blvd. They were very open and helpful then....and it was air conditioned!!! I note the resource guide does say, " Researchers should contact archives-ref@mail.pitt.edu or telephone 412-244-7091 in advance of any visit to ensure availability of any collection in which they are interested."
