“After three seasons of chronicling Greater Erie’s rich history, it’s deeply gratifying to see some of our strongest episodes recognized with this sweep of Emmy honors,” said Jesse Olszewski, WQLN digital media manager. “Chronicles was always driven by the goal of making local history as engaging as it is educational, and this recognition is a meaningful testament to that mission.” All episodes of Chronicles are available to stream through PBS Passport.
