From the article:

Digitizing the Darlington library’s massive collection—comprising some 11,000 books, 3,000 photographs, hundreds of maps, letters, rare pamphlets, and other materials pertaining to the history of Southwestern Pennsylvania, Colonial America, and more—is the latest undertaking of Pitt’s Digital Research Library (DRL), part of the University Library System. DRL’s goal is to make the Darlington material accessible and searchable online to scholars, researchers, and history buffs worldwide. The collection, representing the first major library gift to Pitt, was donated in 1918 and 1925 by the daughters of Pittsburgh attorney William McCullough Darlington and his wife, Mary O’Hara Darlington
