Work sessions have restarted with a limited number of volunteers per floor. Stay in touch by joining our bi-weekly Zoom meetings!Many PNRA volunteers are productively working on Archive projects from their homes mainly using material provided digitally. We have restarted weekly work crew sessions at the Archive on Tuesdays and Saturdays with masks and social distancing. The sessions are for those whose projects require them to work at the Archive. As the Covid guidelines are subject to change, we continue to evaluate our actions. If you would like to join one of the crews, start working at your home, or ZOOMing, please email info@PNRArchive.org.

Delivering a World-Class Railroad Archive
PNRA's Vision: Promote world-wide access to Pacific Northwest railroad heritage.
- Our Mission: Provide a permanent institution for the preservation of railroad records from the greater Pacific Northwest area and make them accessible over the Internet.
- Preserve Railroad Collections which need a new home, but the owners or their families don't know of PNRA and our preservation mission. It is critical that the families be advised before the collections are discarded. If you know of such a collection, please contact PNRA.
- Five Research Websites are the Archive's Front Door: PNRA manages websites for each of our member-Rail Heritage Organizations (RHOs) that provide world-wide access to many of the collections preserved at the Archive. Links to those website are at the top of this page. Email us at info@PNRArchive.org, if you see something you want to know more about.
