HARDCOAL CHRONICLES SHOW #2, "THE DEEP MINERS"

This special exhibit featuring the images of our "last anthracite photographer" Scott Herring, who is celebrating his 40th Anniversary of Hardcoal Chronicles, will remain until the summer.

LITHUANIAN EXHIBIT

The Lithuanian Exhibit was a huge success. Elaine Luschas and her daughters Carol and Christine presented a very interesting and well-attended progam on March 20. Because of the popularity of the exhibit, it was decided that some of the articles will remain on display at the society until June. It's not too late to stop by and catch a look at the treasures.

Twentieth Century Personalities of Schuylkill County

 There is presently no updated county biographical publication covering the twentieth century. The Historical Society is working toward remedying that by compiling a biographical data base of Schuylkill Countians. We are asking for your help with this project. Nothing has been compiled in over seventy years. Generations of biographical history may be lost if we do not set out to capture what we can before it is too late.

The Historical Society of Schuylkill County was incorporated in 1903. The name has changed to the Schuylkill County Historical Society but it is still the official historical society of the county. Our purpose is to discover, procure, and preserve the records of the history of Schuylkill County and any materials which may illustrate that history. The Society has a priceless collection of historical materials of Schuylkill County that is used by members, researchers, scholars and the general public. We invite you to stay awhile, visit our site and come and browse our rooms.
