The Dravosburg Community Archives is a non-profit organization located in Dravosburg, Pennsylvania that is dedicated to preserving the history of the town and its surrounding areas. It was established in 2000 and is run entirely by volunteers. The archives collect, organize, and make available historical documents, photographs, and artifacts related to the town's past.

The archives are housed in the Dravosburg Community Center, which was once the Dravosburg Elementary School. The center is a historic building that was built in the early 1900s and served as a school until the 1960s. It was then converted into a community center and is now home to various local organizations and events.

The archives have a collection of over 5,000 photographs, as well as documents, maps, and other artifacts that date back to the early 1800s. The items in the collection are carefully preserved and cataloged by the volunteers to ensure their longevity and accessibility to the public.

In addition to preserving the town's history, the archives also provide educational programs and events for the community. These programs include lectures, tours, and exhibits that explore various aspects of the town's past.

The Dravosburg Community Archives is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Dravosburg and the surrounding areas. It serves as a reminder of the town's rich history and the contributions of its residents to the region's development.

GAP: Red Waterfall in 2024 Demonstrating acid mine drainage The water here is acid and iron-rich, coming up to the surface from underground mines, staining the rocks rust-red. Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a major source of water pollution and the cause of the extensive stream degradation and environmental damage. Where did this mine water come from? The Ocean Coal Company, a subsidiary of Berwind-White Coal Company of Philadelphia, PA established several mines in this region including in 1900, Ocean No. 2. It is purported that drainage from Ocean No. 2 is the chief cause of the Red Waterfall. Why is it acidic and full of iron? Hundreds of millions of years ago, the massive Pittsburgh Coal Seam formed underneath parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio from ancient swamp plants. Sand, silts, shells, and other matter were deposited and made a rock seal over the carbon rich vegetation. This rock contained the mineral "pyrite", made of iron and sulfur. Cola mining exposes pyrite to oxygen and ground water causing the formation of sulfuric acid and a number of red, orange, and yellow compounds. AMD occurs when this mine water seeps, or in this sea, bursts out into streams. The yellow sulfur can be seen in the shale near coal seams.
