The A.D. White Research Society, Ltd. was formed in 1994 by friends and fellow researchers of Mr. White to continue his work of capturing, preserving and sharing the rich history of Northern Washington County, Pennsylvania.

Mr. Alvin Dinsmore White was born in 1894 and served as a longtime teacher and administrator in Washington County’s schools. While educating the County’s youth, Mr. White compiled copious amounts of historical documentation relating to northwestern Washington County including newspaper articles and history books to preserve and share with the community.

The founding generation of the Society has handed operations over to a new group of volunteers who have assumed responsibility for continuing their mission in preserving this invaluable collection for posterity.
