Forbes Field Links
A few of the best resources on the web for information about and pictures of Forbes Field.
"The Digs" at Pittsburgh Post Gazette

Pittsburgh Post Gazette has slowly been releasing archived photos of Pittsburgh taken in the past by the Post Gazette as well as the Pittsburgh Press, and Sun Telegraph, which slowly merged into one paper.   The Gazette has the archives for all three.  Everything that has been released so far has new articles describing the events and circumstances, there are no pure archives of either old pictures or articles on the site -- yet.  Still, one of the best places to go for any historical information on Pittsburgh, complete with photographs.

Historic Pittsburgh -- University of Pittsburgh

Hagley Museum & Library, located in Greenville Delaware, maintains a rich collection of photos and artifacts documenting the history of the Delaware Valley and the Mid-Atlantic Region.  Most of their photos of Shibe Park are from an aerial photoshoot in 1929, but they have some others as well.



Ballparks, Arenas and Stadiums  by Bob Busser

One of the most thorough sites on the internet for pictures of old ballparks, Bob Busser has been travelling across the country to sports venues since the 1970's, he has posted many of his own photos of ballparks and stadiums, and found many others from the internet for virtually every sports palace in America.   For each park he also creates a full-size slide show set to music.  He has several rare shots of Forbes Field on this site.
