. Chad is a librarian at Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh (CLP).
He is Assistant Head of the Pennsylvania Department which focuses on Genealogy and on Pennsylvania History--with an emphasis on Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania.
Between October 1994 and April 1997 Carnegie Library collaborated with Common Knowledge: Pittsburgh (CK:P) in an online hypertext exhibit of some 600 historical images, accompanied by text,
of Pittsburgh, its bridges and its neighborhoods. Taken from the resources of the Pennsylvania Department's extensive collections, this exhibit was initially made possible by a grant from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
An extraordinarily fruitful collaboration, the ties established between CLP and CK:P continue to reverberate in this ongoing exhibit and in the goodwill which it engendered.

Scanned drawing of a very funny-looking creature from a 1909 
Pittsburgh newspaper cartoon that B.Chad thinks resembles his cat, 
Spencer because of the look of amazement in his face.
