A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Small Archives Forum
Back in February, we announced the beginning of the Small Archives Forums, a series of free programs designed to explore archival concepts and build connections among Philadelphia area small archives. The forum series aims to teach new archival skills while also fostering community among small archives and laying the groundwork for ongoing knowledge-sharing and cooperation. Starting with our first event in February 2015, programs have covered topics such as digitization, preservation, and processing. Wednesday, 7/15/15 9:37 am

The Village Improvement Association of Doylestown
In 1895, a group of fourteen women in Bucks County, Pennsylvania joined together to improve the quality of life in their community, forming the Village Improvement Association (VIA). Twenty-eight years later in 1923, the same group founded the Doylestown Hospital. Today, the Village Improvement Association of Doylestown is over 120 years old, has over three hundred and fifty members, host annual fundraisers, oversees a retirement community in addition to Doylestown Hospital, and continues to support projects improving the quality of life in Bucks County.

Laurel Hill Cemetery
Imagine taking an afternoon stroll through a meticulously sculpted garden, winding along pathways lined with flowers and shrubberies overlooking majestic view of the Schuylkill River. Detailed sculptures are scattered along the path, depicting cherubs and angels. You pass stelae and obelisks, and as you continue, you find yourself surrounded by elaborate mausoleums. Not only are the stone structures beautiful works of art, decorated with detailed carvings and Tiffany stained glass windows, but they also serve as the final resting place for the deceased.
