Enhancing Archives and Collections
Pittsburgh was the birthplace of the stand-alone commercial movie theater in 1905 and our agreement with John Heinz History Center will maximize the success of those using our collections for research.
In tandem with improved access, THS is also prioritizing collections care for its holdings. As stewards of the largest collections of its kind, we must ensure the care and safety of our archive for future generations.
The cost to care for a collection the size of our archive is not minimal. The collections in our Archive are constantly at risk by elements as simple as air, moisture and even the very material from which they were created.
