Carl Krasik is a Pittsburgh-based lawyer who has worked for Reed Smith LLP and BNY Mellon.
Krasik began collecting political memorabilia in 1968, inspired by the political activity of
that year. He later narrowed his collecting focus to Pennsylvania politics, especially
governors and senators, after working with Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Herbert
Cohen.
Scope and Content Notes The Krasik Collection of Political Memorabilia illustrates the emerging political identity
and character of Western Pennsylvania, documenting key political, social, and economic
issues over a 200-year span of the state's history. The collection contains posters,
broadsides, newspapers, booklets, pamphlets, sheet music, 45 r.p.m. records, postcards,
campaign palm cards, ballots, correspondence, signatures, sheet music, photographs,
blotters, petitions, fliers, tickets, and related ephemera created between 1790 and 2015.
The materials relate to Pennsylvania gubernatorial, senatorial, congressional,
legislative, judicial, mayoral and presidential elections, as well as campaigns for various
local offices. Political parties represented throughout include Republican, Democrat, Whig,
Socialist, and Federalist, among others. A majority of the materials are written in English.
