may 2010 by sarasusa
The Urban Archives was established in 1967 to document the social, economic, and physical development of the Philadelphia area from the mid-19th century to the present. The Archives functions as a repository for organizational records and related materials, and as a research facility for those interested in urban studies. The Archives collections are particularly strong in areas involving social service organizations, unions, housing development, community organizations, and contain many records from organizations involved with African Americans, education, and crime.

The FOOD Museum : What's New
september 2009 by sarasusa
...on-line home of The FOOD Museum, your source for food exhibits, examination of food issues and resources, food history, food fun, food news on The FOOD Museum’s interactive Blog, answers to your food questions, and the museum’s favorite places and things, including restaurants, cafes, books, and films. The FOOD Museum shop is in the planning stage.
Everything you'd expect to find in the world's only independent food museum will be found here. For several years we have been building online exhibits about the world's foods. You can search for a particular food by name, by hemisphere, and by type.
We've been putting up actual exhibits for over 25 years...
The Global Food Heritage Project is an outgrowth of our concern that places associated with humankind's food history are endangered or forgotten.
