Want to Browse Historic Photos?
Found Historic Files
I have explored the Library of Congress, the University of Pittsburgh, and various websites like GetArchive to gather historic print, film, and photo collections. These files are available for free use and can be utilized for commercial purposes.
If you are seeking a print that embodies the industrial age, railroading, or the essence of Pittsburgh, this could be the perfect opportunity for you. You can find a variety of photos in the following categories. You may also already know what they are if you have been around the block in railroading history:
- Anthracite Breakers
- Anthracite Mining
- B&O
- Bethlehem Steel Company
- Breakers Boys
- Champion Coal Company
- Conrail
- Edgar Thompson Works
- Johnstown
- Jones & Laughlin Bridges
- Jones & Laughlin Steel
- Montour Coal Mining (Montour Number 4)
- Pittsburgh
- Pittsburgh Bridges
- PRR
If you find yourself interested in obtaining a photo or multiple photos, please note that I can only print them in 8x10 sizes. The dimensions may vary slightly between prints, but I can trim the paper to the desired size once printed. Please select from the 8x10 prints options.
As you check out, you will find that photo selection is necessary. This is the document to select historic photos:
