Happy Fall, y’all! Year round, our Technical Services and Digital Archives staff work on processing, cataloguing, and digitizing arrivals to the Hagley archives, and they worked through tons of materials over the past few months. Highlights include the declassified records of DuPont’s activities for the Manhattan Project and a collection of Pennsylvania Railroad photographs from the World’s Columbian Exposition. 
The result of this work is dozens of findings aids, catalogue records, and digitized material designed to help researchers like you explore our stacks virtually. Here are newly available collections to peruse online or in person.
