Collections

The West Jefferson Hills Historical Society is committed to preserving the history of our region. We collect materials, both artifacts and archives that document the lives of West Elizabeth, Jefferson Hills, and Pleasant Hills residents. Materials range from the extraordinary to the everyday and may include personal letters, photographs, business records, uniforms, tools, local souvenirs, paintings of Western Pennsylvania, published books or family scrapbooks, clothing, and locally-manufactured products.

If you are considering donating an object to the Historical Society's collections, please contact archive@westjeffersonhillshistoricalsociety.org.

The West Jefferson Hills Historical Society Archives are currently being developed for local preservation. At present, volunteers are in the process of inventorying, indexing, and organizing the archive collections. When this work is completed, an index will be made available on this website.

Here is a small sampling of the Archives Collections.
