Abstract
Since 1879, the Senator John Heinz History Center has been collecting materials that tell the story of the people of Western Pennsylvania. Over nearly 140 years, the museum's collection has grown to more than one million objects, including a vast assortment of photographs, books, maps, and manuscripts in the Detre Library & Archives, along with an amazingcompilation of three-dimensional objects from our region. To help showcase this collection, we recently opened Visible Storage in the Sigo Falk Collections Center on the museum's fourth floor.
