FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CARNEGIE LIBRARY of PITTSBURGH TO HOLD HISTORY/PRESERVATION SYMPOSIUM NEXT
MONTH
April 13, 2000...Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh will host nationally
recognized experts at daylong symposium about preservation and Andrew
Carnegie's legacy on Wednesday, May 17, 2000 from 9 AM until 4 PM in the
Carnegie Museum of Art Theatre, 4400 Forbes Avenue, Oakland.
Preserving Andrew Carnegie's Legacy is an opportunity to engage area history
enthusiasts with local and national scholars on the topic of Andrew Carnegie
and the era of Industrialism in western Pennsylvania.
The program will feature Dr. Harold Livesay, Dr. Deanna Marcum and more than
six other experts in the fields of history and preservation. Dr. Livesay is
currently a professor in the History Department of Texas A&M University and has
taught history at the University of Michigan, the State University of New York
and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University at Blacksburg Virginia.
Among his prolific publications and research in entrepreneurship, Dr. Livesay
has written American Made: Men Who Built the American Economy and Andrew
Carnegie and the Rise of Big Business. He also served as a consultant on the
PBS series American Experience: Andrew Carnegie: The Richest Man in the World.
Dr. Deanna Marcum is currently President of the Council on Library and
Information Resources. Her previous positions include: the Director of Public
Service and Collection Management at the Library of Congress, Dean of the
School of Library and Information Science at The Catholic University of America
and the first Program Officer/Vice President of the Council on Library
Resources.
The Carnegie Library was one of 25 recipients of a Carnegie Corporation of NY
grant to implement one of a three-phase project to preserve materials,
including photographic prints and negatives about Carnegie's life and about the
local history of industrialism. The grant focuses on collections at the Main
Library and the Allegheny Regional Branch Library which houses the Colonel
Anderson Collection, books Andrew Carnegie had access to in his youth. The use
of the Colonel Anderson Collection may be the factor that inspired Carnegie to
become a builder and promoter of libraries later on in his life. The goal of
this grant is to make the Andrew Carnegie Collection at the Carnegie Library of
Pittsburgh accessible to researchers and the public.
Admission to the symposium is $10 per person or $25, which includes an optional
luncheon. Parking is available in the Carnegie Garage at Forbes Avenue and
South Craig Street.
