The Peters Township Public Library Archives acquires, preserves and makes available original unpublished materials documenting the history of Peters Township and its constituent villages of Donaldson’s Crossroads, Bower Hill, Hackett, McMurray, Pleasant Valley, Thompsonville and Venetia.
Because of their unique nature and special storage requirements, the library’s archival materials are housed in its Local History Room and are available to the public by appointment. Please contact the archivist at 412-770-2861 or nmartin@pt-library.org to schedule a visit.
The Archives records “Live from the Archives” with Peters Township Community Television several times a year. Tune in for information on archival displays, events, acquisitions and more.
