The Weirton Steel Employees Bulletins—through their articles, photographs, advertisements, local sports segments, and recipe sections—offer more than fifty years of social and economic history about the men and women who worked in at Weirton Steel, which was one of the West Virginia's greatest economic generators in the 1940s and 1950s. Additionally, details about the employees’ role in wartime activities, both abroad and on the home front, offers users a fascinating view of the region’s—and by extension, West Virginia’s—role in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.
