ZOOM - Introduction to the Pennsylvania State Archives

Course | Registration opens 1/21/2025 8:00 AM EST

The Pennsylvania State Archives collects, preserves, and makes available the permanently valuable public records of the Commonwealth, with particular attention given to the records of state government. This includes birth and death records, land records such as the original patents establishing homesteads in PA, Revolutionary War records, and more. The Archives can help individuals explore not just Pennsylvania's history, but the history of the nation, or even the history of their own families.
