A private collector is divesting of a personal collection of Clarion County and other Pennsylvania historical memorabilia. Some items are going to the Clarion County Historical Society Museum, while other items are being offered for sale below fair market value.

Proceeds from the sales will be donated toward the cost of maintaining the Clarion County Genealogy & History Web site and to acquiring or copying additional documents for transcription here.

Tim Gruber began People for Better Pennsylvania Historical Records Access with us in mind. He writes,

"There are millions and millions of people who are into genealogy but unless we all speak up we are allowing those who don't care about genealogy decide what records we may or may not have access to. But this will not happen on its own. We need you to personally let the State of Pennsylvania know you support this cause. The more of us that speak up the more likely we are to succeed. Otherwise we could be stuck with the same old existing archaic system indefinitely."

Can you type?

Even if you can only use two fingers, we could use your help!

We have old newspaper articles, old books, and many more items that are loaded with Clarion County history.

Your Webmistress can send PDF files of material that needs to be transcribed. You can type in your own space and at your own pace, then e-mail the text back for uploading to this Web site.
