Experience the Archive

Three hundred Community College of Philadelphia students, eight student exhibitors, three interns, and ten professors experienced the PHS archive together with society staff and project partners.

Through classroom collaborations, special events, and one-on-one visits we formed new learning experiences and confronted obstacles to access that limit community engagement. Contact us to plan your own learning experience at PHS or elsewhere.
