Hagley Museum and Library 2011 Annual Report Gunpowder keg, ca. 1861-1875, used for shipping powder, and gunpowder flask, ca. 1850, used to store and dispense gunpowder. PRESIDENT’S REPORT

As we celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the dedication and opening of the Hagley Library on October 7, 1961, I pause to reflect on comments made by my grandfather Henry Belin du Pont on that very special occasion. He notes that Pierre S. du Pont laid plans “for a library at Longwood [that later merged with Hagley Museum] to bring together documents and papers and books of much historical significance—not only of significance to the but to the early record of the whole community...Just as the beauties of Longwood were never hoarded to his personal pleasure, the treasures represented by his search and acquisition of important historical records were not to be hidden away, but were to be made available to all who could benefit from their accessibility.” While it is widely known that the library was founded by Pierre S. du Pont, what is not well known is that the idea of a du Pont family library harkens back to 1867, when Evelina du Pont wrote to her brother Henry, “Some of the family have a plan...of a library building in which to Henry B. duPont IV put family papers and books which are alike the property President of the whole family.” Thanks to the Hagley Library, the letter from Evelina and the booklet of remarks made at the dedication are still in existence. with stories of innovation and inspiration focusing on Cover: In 1862, Hagley is a remarkable institution that melds the the important educational initiatives of STEM—science, citizens of unique museum collections, buildings, and history technology, engineering, math.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT

I am delighted to share with you some of the highlights of yet another successful year at Hagley Museum and Library, the year when our internationally renowned library celebrated its fiftieth anniversary, the year when Mother Nature tested the resources of our Service Division in keeping us open and looking good, and the year when our historic Osage orange tree became co-champion in the National Register of Big Trees! What a champion place to be! As you will see, 2011 saw increased visitation both on site and on our website and increased support and community involvement. Once again, I acknowledge my pride in celebrating the achievements of a remarkable staff, board, and volunteer corps who strive on a daily basis to make wonderful things happen at Hagley.
