Over the years, individuals, organizations, and governments have donated objects to the Nationality Rooms. These range from documents of historic significance to curiosities that bear more sentimental value. When possible, these are displayed within the rooms themselves, but the staff oversee a significant collection of artifacts that are rarely seen in person. The list below allows one to experience virtually the numerous objects that help to tell the story of the origins of Pittsburgh's residents.
