Help us build the Drexel family archival collections

The legacy of the Drexel family continues in the lives and memories of its members. The collections documenting the family at Drexel University help preserve its history.

Drexel University Archives collects written and visual materials that document the Drexel family and affiliated families. We are also interested in collecting materials documenting the people employed by or otherwise related to the family and Drexel & Co.

We are interested in donations of items such as the following: 

  • Letters, diaries, photographs, postcards, scrapbooks/albums, memoirs 
  • Legal documents and vital records such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and wills 
  • Diplomas, certificates, awards 
  • Documents related to education, work, and hobbies 
  • Home movies, videos, audiotapes 
  • Electronic records such as digital photos and emails 

If you have personal or family history materials that we might be interested in, or if you have questions about donations, please contact us at:
