Hi y'all,
Here is some information that I picked up at the Carnegie Library. Hope
someone finds it useful.
REFERENCE SERVICES:
Reference assistance is available to visiting patrons by the Department's
experienced staff librarians. The staff also accepts telephone inquiries.
Letter inquiries are also answered, usually within a period of six to eight
weeks. Our staff will conduct a basic search of the BIOGRAPHY INDEX and
relevant county & family histories for any family surname or individual. A
list of local researchers is provided for patrons who require more extensive
research. A search for obituaries will also be conducted for patrons who can
provide an exact date of death or for deaths that occurred during the time
periods covered by our DEATH NOTICES INDEXES.
The Department does not charge for the searches conducted by the staff. There
is a basic fee for photocopies: $8.75 for 1-5 copies for out-of-state patrons
and $4.01 for 1-5 copies for Pennsylvania residents. All letters to the
Department should include a SASE and a check made payable to the Carnegie
Library of Pittsburgh. When a search is conducted & no photocopies are made,
then the check is returned.
