The University Library System has released two new image collections on historic Pittsburgh contributed by project partners at the Heinz History Center.

The Dorsey-Turfley family photographs (http://digital.library.pitt.edu/images/pittsburgh/dorsey.html) — 221 images — document several generations of the Dorsey and Turfley families, as well as African-American sports teams from the beginning decades of the 20th century.

The Seder family photographs (http://digital.library.pitt.edu/images/pittsburgh/seder.html) — 22 images — primarily depict the Frank and Seder clothing store, business associates and Isaac Seder’s family from 1910 through the late 1960s. These additions mark ULS’s 49th and 50th historic Pittsburgh image collections.

Earlier this year, ULS added 349 images (http://images.library.pitt.edu/cgi-bin/i/image/image-idx?type=booleang;sort=dc_da;view=thumbnail;q1=201018;rgn1=hpicasc_ba;q2=201019;op2=Or;rgn2=hpicasc_ba;c=hpicasc) from its Pittsburgh city photographer collection to historic Pittsburgh. There now are more than 11,000 images from this single collection available online, which represents almost half of the total 23,000 images on the site as a whole.
