Helen Wirsing, a longtime Greensburg resident and public school teacher, spent her summers traveling the world. Her interest in other countries led to a collection of slides, photos, and artifacts that fill an entire cabinet in the Millstein Library.
An in-house database was created by UPG anthropology students who cataloged all the items in great detail. While not on Pittcat Plus, these items are available to researchers interested in recent culture and history of countries around the world. Contact the Director of the Library for further information.
