The Allegheny Chronicles is a digital project launched in 2006 by the Warren Library Association to preserve and provide public access to collected materials documenting history and economic growth along western Pennsylvania’s Allegheny Watershed.


The current collections of The Allegheny Chronicles Slideshow of images of the Point at Pennsylvania and Second Avenues from 1863 to 2004 consist of over 300 digital images from the library’s Historic Warren Photograph Collection and two rare historical publications, The Allegheny Pilot (1855), a detailed navigational study of the river during the era of early rafting and lumbering and Improvement of the Allegheny River and Flood Control, (1943) a paper examining historical flood control and new proposals under consideration during the 1930’s and 40’s. The Allegheny Chronicles project also includes biographical sketches of the authors and provides links to related digital and printed resources.
