Pew is granting $850,000 to Drexel University to support its stewardship of the city’s historical archive, known as the Atwater Kent Collection, which the university acquired from the former Philadelphia History Museum.

'Seeing Philadelphia' brings together varied views of the city through prints, drawings, photographs, paintings, and maps from the historic collection.

Old photos, paintings and maps from the Atwater Kent Collection, acquired last year by Drexel University, can be seen for free through Sept. 5

“Seeing Philadelphia” is the first public exhibition of the city’s historical archive since the collection was acquired by Drexel University.
