The Oakmont Historical Society has various forms of online research.

The Advance Leader Newspaper Archives Project
The Oakmont Historical Society has partnered with the Oakmont Carnegie Library to have old copies of the Advance Leader newspaper digitized and uploaded to the Oakmont Library website. The database, which spans the years 1917 to 1950, documents the history of Oakmont and the surrounding area. The keyword search archives are a wealth of information for those interested in local history.
