    <pre> I would try University of Pittsburgh Archives of Industrial Society, http://www.library.pitt.edu/libraries/archives/ais.html

    and Historic Pittsburgh which is Pitt + the Western Pennsylvannia Historical Society http://digital.library.pitt.edu/pittsburgh/

    That said, though, I looked around at their finding aids, etc. that are online, and I think they used LCSH & LCTGM. There are emails & phone numbers at the sites, so you could contact people there for more infor.
