Steelworkers' Archives Honoring Steel’s Legacy
The Steelworkers’ Archives is dedicated to preserving the rich history of Bethlehem’s steelworkers and their families. Through recorded oral histories, exhibitions, education, and community outreach, we share the voices and experiences of those who helped shape American industry.
As one visitor once said, “He’ll never be gone as long as you continue to tell the stories.” That is the heart of our mission—ensuring these stories live on for generations to come.
Why Preserving Steelworker History Is So Important
As more steelworkers pass away, we lose voices that can never be replaced. Their stories are personal, powerful, and irreplaceable—a vital part of our community’s identity. Our work ensures that the lessons, values, and pride of the steelworking tradition live on.
He'll never be gone as long as you continue to tell the stories.
