About Nemacolin.net

Nemacolin.net is an independent, non-commercial digital archive dedicated to documenting, preserving, and sharing the history, memories, and ancestry of Nemacolin, Pennsylvania.

Known affectionately as "Buckeye" after the Buckeye Coal Company that developed the mine and planned and maintained the community. The town sits on the west bank of the Monongahela River in Cumberland Township, Greene County. Houses are arranged on terraced hillsides on both sides of a small stream. For generations, the lives of its families were shaped by the mine, the union, the local schools, churches, and tight-knit neighborhood bonds.

Project History & Mission

This archive was founded and is continuously maintained by Edward Morofsky. Conceived more than two decades ago, the project began as a way to preserve fading records, historic photographs, and local documents before they were lost to time.

Over the years, the site has grown to house detailed transcripts and indices, including community timelines, genealogical records, obituary references, federal census extractions, and technical histories of the underground and surface mining operations.
