The Historical Society of Pennsylvania is honored to announce the acquisition of the University of the Arts (UArts) institutional records, ensuring the preservation of nearly 150 years of creative, academic, and cultural history. To provide a glimpse into this extraordinary collection, HSP will host a special event on Saturday, November 8, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. HSP warmly invites the University of the Arts community, along with the general public, to reflect and engage with the materials that shaped their experiences.
​Join us for:
-Musical performances and artist demonstrations
-Make-and-take activities
-Remarks on the history of UArts by Sara J. MacDonald, former Director for Public Services at the University of the Arts Greenfield Library
-Remarks on why this archival collection matters to the city by David Brigham, HSP Librarian and CEO
-Opportunities for members of the University of the Arts community—students, alumni, faculty, and staff— to contribute their own stories through a memory collection project
Registration not required—we hope to see you there!
