How do I locate records of a Pittsburgh church or synagogue?
Various archives and libraries in Pittsburgh maintain records of some religious institutions. Search the online catalog at the History Center or visit the Archives Service Center’s online research guide to see if these institutions hold relevant religious records. (Archives Service Center contact information and location can be found on their home page.) Also, contact the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh Archives and Record Center for information about Pittsburgh’s Catholic parishes. Records may also still be held by the church, synagogue, etc. In that case, you will want to contact the institution directly.
