The Erie Lackawanna Historical Society does not have access to nor maintain in its Archives employee records from the DL&W, Erie or Erie Lackawanna. Two web sites that might prove useful to those in search of employee records are the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board web site and for former Erie Railroad employees and a possible lead for former DL&W employees, Jim Sponholz's web site pages dedicated to helping find former railroad employee records. |

(Based on Rich Behrendt's report to the ELHS Board of Directors)
The first phase of actually the moving the ELHS archives to Cleveland State University, Special Collection Library occurred on Saturday June 27, 2009 with the help of Rich Behrendt, Mike Connor, his son Tom, Tom Marshalak, Joe Schveder, Randy Dettmer, Joe Juratovak, and CSU Special Collection Currator; Bill Barrow. The crew start early in the morning and were able to move 345 paige archival boxes from Northcoast Records to CSU by the end of the day. Norhcoast Records drivers and movers handle the packing and transportation of the boxes, about 10 pallets in total, and the ELHS crew carried them into the Special Collection Library and placed them on the recently constructed shelving (see February 7, 2009 update article).
