The University of Pittsburgh, the City of Pittsburgh and the Heinz History Center are among the organizations receiving grants from the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission to help preserve the documents in their archives.
Thirty-one Historical & Archival Records Care grants totaling nearly $200,000 are being distributed around the state to help organizations to “improve the preservation and accessibility of historically significant records maintained by local governments, historical societies and academic institutions,” according to the Commission.
