Manuscript Collection

The Manuscript Collections housed in Special Collections supplement and support research by faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and private scholars. Special Collections vigorously pursues the preservation of significant regional archival collections with a particular emphasis on business, industry and labor that are related to the coal, iron and steel and transportation industries.

The regional focus extends from western Pennsylvania to western New York and eastern Ohio. Collections beyond this region with a coal, steel, railroad or labor theme are also of interest in that they serve to develop the depth of an integrated collection.

Additionally, as a cooperating partner of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission [ You are welcome to visit the website under construction at: http://www.lib.iup.edu/spec_coll/sphpc.html ] on America's Industrial Heritage Project (AIHP), the Special Collections Division is committed to the preservation of the cultural and historical resources that enhance the understanding of America's industrial heritage. To that end, Special Collections serves as the repository for the Project's archives.
