We owe them our thanks for their extraordinary performance.

Adam Albright, who produces all of our publications, completed several noteworthy design projects: the 172-page book and catalog for the Raymond Loewy exhibit (which later won a major design award), a media kit for the new DuPont exhibit, and a four-color flier for the Car Show. Since 1987, the annual number of publication projects at Hagley has risen from 42 to 224 last year. Our marketing efforts, led by Public Relations Coordinator Suzy Rogers, were rewarded in the media with unusually strong coverage of Hagley, including a widely syndicated garden feature in The Washington Post, which eventually became a News Journal Home and Garden section feature. We continue to court the motorcoach tour market and to experiment with partnering opportunities with our sister institutions. “Chateau Country” is the emerging brand for the region, and we have joined other museums and the convention and visitors bureau to promote it.

We also received additions to existing collections: papers of Sun Company CEO Robert Campbell, and papers and books of the noted business historian Thomas P. Hughes. During the year, Hagley signed an agreement with the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP) to transfer ownership and custody of Philadelphia National Bank records to HSP. In exchange, HSP gave Hagley ownership of its portion of Reading Company papers, which have been on deposit here. Once again, we experienced strong research use of the collection, with 535 researchers using 3,954 linear feet of materials, our second highest total ever.
