The National Film Preservation Foundation has awarded a grant to the Hagley Museum and Library to preserve It Happened in the Kitchen

Hagley recently began digitizing an addition of approximately 40 films to the Lukens Steel Company photographs and audiovisual materials collection. Lukens is a medium-sized, non-integrated steel company that began operating in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, in 1810.
