About This Collection

The Charles McCollester Collection contains both physical items and textual items spanning from 1877 to 2018 with an emphasis on the 1980's into the 2000's. The collection's subjects vary from Pittsburgh steel and union history, the founding of the Battle of Homestead Foundation, Monsignor Rice, and Pennsylvania historical markers. Though the collection focuses primarily on the state of Pennsylvania, much of the collection has national significance as well.
