http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/756864491

The documents are contained in one archival box and arranged by topic. The first four folders concern Robert Carnahan personally, the next eight involve Mary Schenleys attorneys, and the final folder is a document on the Republican Party in Pittsburgh. In relation to Robert Carnahan, there are two photographs, one of himself and one of his step daughter; there is also a certificate dated and signed by President Andrew Johnson, appointing Carnahan as an attorney of the Western District of Pennsylvania, as well as the Carnahan obituaries and other newspaper clippings about his life and death. The majority of the remaining documents were composed within a five year time frame, highlighting the purchase of Mary Schenley properties for the city of Pittsburgh and their transformation into a park. .
