Here is a link to the archives: http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/state_archives/2887 Enter "Schuylkill Almshouse" in the "Search Archives Finding Aids" box and a number of records appear. I do not believe any of these records are online. You may go in person to search or hire a researcher. Note that the Archives will be closed until next year. Some history of the Schuykill Almshouse is in this document: http://www.usgwarchives.org/pa/schuylkill/pdf/munsell.pdf I just entered "alms" in the search field.
