A visit to the Pennsylvania Department of the Main Carnegie Library in Oakland!
Marilyn Holt, Library Services Manager for Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Department, which focuses on local history and genealogy, will guide us through the department's resources as they relate to genealogists.
