About PNRA

Delivering a World-Class Railroad Archive

Mission: Provide a permanent institution for the preservation of railroad records from the greater Pacific Northwest area and make them accessible over the Internet.

Vision: Promote world-wide access to Pacific Northwest railroad heritage.

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.
