In late 2013 and early 2014, SHHS Board member Ralph Lund initiated an effort to build new links between our organization and the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. After extensive discussions, several areas of cooperation were identified. One suggestion was to have an ongoing display board at the Squirrel Hill Branch of Carnegie Library, so a display board was purchased and installed there by the SHHS. The displays feature various aspects of Squirrel Hill’s history and are changed every six months or so. They are designed by Helen Wilson, SHHS Vice President, with input from other past and present SHHS members, including Michael Ehrmann, SHHS President Emeritus, and the late Betty Connolly, who was also SHHS Vice President. The links below take you to the various displays. The original displays are available for temporary use in schools, churches, synagogues or other venues. Please contact us at sqhillhist@shhsoc.org to discuss borrowing any of the displays.
Please review the following index of exhibits and click any of these you want to see.
