Drexel Family Digital Archive

The Drexel Family Digital Archive Project is an initiative to create an online digital archive documenting the legacy of Drexel founder Anthony J. Drexel and his family. Over the course of the project, Drexel family-related materials in multiple media are inventoried and selectively digitized in order to create the exhibit site and improve access to these items.

This is a collaborative project involving the Drexel University special collections units with holdings that document the family: the University Archives, the Drexel Founding Collection, the Fox Historic Costume Collection, and the Archives of the Academy of Natural Sciences.

The Drexel Family Digital Archive is generously funded by the Drexel Family Committee.
