Other Local Repositories

HSP's resources and collections are highlighted in numerous regional and national indexes, inventories, guides, and databases.  They contain information about many parts of our collections, notably portions of our graphics, newspaper, and microfilm holdings. Online examples include Places in Time: Historical Documentation of Place in Greater Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Historical Digital Image Library (PHDIL).
