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.
