Our Museum Archives

The Price Hill Historical Society & Museum's holdings consist of two main parts: our archives of photographs, books, and documents and our collections of artifacts. All have benn given to us by area residents or gathered by our volunteers. For the most part, our archives are found in our library and in filing cabinets in our office areas and in other parts of our museum. Our archives are organized and cared for by volunteers, including Flo Sparks, Ida Renner, and Marge Duffy. All items in our archives are available for people interested in doing research on topic of local interest.
