Life in Western Pennsylvania: A Digital History Resource will address the critical need for assessment tools for planning digital history sites and measuring the impact of online resources to increase the use of archival collections. Using a digital repository of more than 800 images of western Pennsylvania from 1840 to 1970, and 12 films that include stock footage from the 1940s through the 1990s, this project will create a model for incorporating digital history content into the K–12 curriculum.
