Artifacts

The historians and archivists working on the PNC Legacy Project are collecting, documenting, and assessing hundreds of individual artifacts and rare papers. By putting their organizational and research skills to work, they are creating a cohesive and meaningful collection.

Many of the items that have been preserved – such as ledgers, currency, and mechanical devices – may have seemed rather ordinary to those who used them. Now, however, they are being placed in a timeline that not only marks their significance in the history of banking, but also reveals much about the history of these local communities.

A lot of these objects and documents could have just disappeared, but PNC recognizes their historical significance and has provided the means to take care of them. Through this effort, these artifacts can be protected and enjoyed for years to come.
