Andrew Carnegie is remembered as one of the worlds great philanthropists. As a boy, he witnessed the benevolence of a businessman who lent his personal book collection to laborers apprentices. That early experience inspired Carnegie to create the Free to the People Carnegie Library in 1895 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1896, he founded the Carnegie Institute, which included a music hall, art museum, and science museum. Carnegie deeply believed that education and culture could lift up the common man and should not be the sole province of the wealthy. Today, his Pittsburgh cultural institution encompasses a library, music hall, natural history museum, art museum, science center, the Andy Warhol Museum, and the Carnegie International art exhibition...

This is not an official history produced by Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh. Its form and character are my own, as are its opinions and conclusions. I wish to thank Cynthia Miller and the University of Pittsburgh Press for undertaking this project, with its large ambitions, and for seeking funds for its publication.
Since my retirement, many people at the Carnegie Museums and Carnegie Library have been generously cooperative, from presidents, board members, directors, and curators, to staff and volunteers. Working at the Carnegie is something of an honor in Pittsburgh, and former employees often become volunteers, seemingly institutional family members for life. An informal Carnegie veterans group even meets occasionally to talk about their shared experiences. In my over three decades of interaction with employees at all levels of the Carnegie Museums and Library, I can scarcely acknowledge all those who have helped me.
But I did have immediate advisors in my writing and editing, especially my wife, Linda Gangewere, who has faithfully read everything I wrote, and Carnegie Institute and Library readers who obliged me by reviewing the subjects in which they had expertise. These include, among others, Bernadette Callery, Barry Chad, Vicky Clark, Mary Dawson, Deborah Harding, Mike Kainaroi, Sarah Nichols, Louise Lippincott, Brad Livezey, Pat McShea, Cynthia Morton, Tim Pearce, Mary Ann Perkins, John Rawlins, James Richardson III, Steve Rogers, Tey Stitler, Dave Watters, Don Wentworth, James Wilkinson, Suzanne Wilkinson, and Marc Wilson. The Buhl historian Glenn Walsh also helped me, as did the coin and stamp specialist Wayne Homgren. Carnegie volunteer Robert Flood assisted me in conducting interviews and making transcripts. The Pennsylvania Department and the Music and Art departments of Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh were invaluable in my research. I am indebted as well to Carol Sickman-Garner for her scrupulous copy editing of the manuscript.
Gil Pietrzak of the Pennsylvania Department and Kathryn Logan ofthe Music and Art departments of Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh were invaluable in my research, as was the staff of Carnegie Museum of Art, and the Library of Carnegie Museum of Natural History. So too in my search for images were Rick Armstrong, Jeff Boyd, Greg Burchard, Stan Franzos, Susan Geyer, Frank Heny, Nancy Lewis, Robert Raschak, and Madelyn Roehrig.
The notes to most chapters mention the interviews that I taped while writing articles for Carnegie Magazine and researching this book. I have donated all the taped interviews that I still possessed to Greg Priori of the William Oliver Special Collections Department of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh to help future historians. I am indebted to these interviewees, some of whom provided me with hours of candid conversation. They are listed in the appendix to the book.
Interview Subjects
Unless publication details are noted, these may be found in the William Oliver Special Collections Department, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. If no taped copy of an interview is available, the note transcript only appears. The note etc. indicates that subsequent interviews were conducted following the initial interview.
