Photos from IHP: The First 100 Years exhibition at International House Philadelphia 

In 2012, I was asked to curate a historical archives exhibition for International House Philadelphia. The archive collection found at the organization was incomplete and in jeopardy of being lost. Due to the fact that the organization has resided in three separate buildings over the last 100 years, many months were spent conducting research to fill in the gaps of missing information and to discover the complete history of IHP.  Sasha Dages (who oversaw the project) and I prioritized the safe keeping of the collection, and saw it fit to donate it to the University of Pennsylvania Archives with permission from the board. This exhibition is the result of much hard work and investigation.
