"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
