Introducing the Lackawanna Valley Digital Archives

The Lackawanna Valley Digital Archives is an interactive web site, developed by the library and funded by a grant from the Willary Foundation. Its mission is to make the history of the Lackawanna Valley and surrounding areas accessible to anyone with a computer and Internet connection. The inaugural collection, Out of the Wilderness: The Industrialization and Development of the Scranton Area 1850-1865, contains books, paintings, photographs, and other artifacts from when the Lackawanna Valley emerged from its agrarian beginnings to become an industrial center that powered the torn nation's war effort. New collections will be added on a regular basis.
