During his long and distinguished career, Dick Thornburgh has served as Attorney General of the United States and also completed two terms as the Governor of Pennsylvania. Given these positions, many will not be surprised to learn that the University of Pittsburgh has created this online collection of materials donated to the institution by Thornburgh himself. Over the past several years, the Digital Research Library at the institution has scanned over 37,000 pages of text and photographs for inclusion on this site. After reading the profile of Thornburgh in the “About” section, first-time visitors may wish to acquaint themselves with the various phases of his work in “The Collection” section, which includes sub-sections titled “Early Legal Career”, “Pittsburgh Civic Activity”, and “Audio”, which contains campaign speeches and the like.
