(bulk 1798-1899) 1 box, 42 vols., 1 flat file, 5.7 lin. feet Collection 3101 Abstract The Presbyterian Synod of Philadelphia, shortly after its establishment, formed a charitable organization called the “Fund for Pious Uses” to assist local Presbyterian ministers. This organization evolved into The Corporation for Relief of Poor and Distressed Presbyterian Ministers and of the Poor and Distressed Widows and Children of Presbyterian Ministers in 1759, and eventually the Presbyterian Ministers’ Fund (PMF) in 1888. Deemed the oldest life insurance company in America, PMF sold life insurance policies to Protestant evangelical ministers and their families. It was among the first life insurance companies to broach the idea of offering life insurance to all human beings. PMF remained in existence for over two hundred years, until it was bought out in the early 1990s. The collection spans two hundred and twenty-five years and contains mostly financial volumes, such as cashbooks, daybooks, journals, and ledgers.

They are seeking volunteers to perform condition assessments and plan for upgraded storage for their historic furniture collections. “I’d like to say up front that this would be a messy treasure hunt sort of project.” Furniture will be brought upstairs from the basement, cleaned, inventoried, condition assessed, and upgraded storage will be planned. Betsy Ross House 4 volunteers needed The American Flag House and Betsy Ross Memorial, also known as the Betsy Ross House (BRH), is dedicated to the preservation, maintenance and administration of this historic site and acknowledges the significance of Betsy Ross in American History.

  • Ben Franklin Parkway and Independence Mall Patch Programs
    Ben Franklin Parkway and Independence Mall Patch Programs 1 Independence Mall Patch Program Introduction – Philadelphia’s History William Penn, a wealthy Quaker from London earned most of his income from land he owned in England and Ireland. He rented the land for use as farmland even though he could have made much more money renting it for commercial purposes. He considered the rent he collected from the farms to be less corrupt than commercial wealth. He wanted to build such a city made up of farmland in Pennsylvania. As soon as William Penn received charter for Pennsylvania, Penn began to work on his dream by advertising that he would establish, “ A large Towne or City” on the Delaware River. Remembering the bubonic plague in London (1665) and the disastrous fire of 1666, Penn wanted, “ A Greene county Towne, which would never be burnt, and always be wholesome.” In 1681, William Penn announced he would layout a “Large Towne or City in the most convenient place upon the river for health and navigation.” Penn set aside 10,000 acres of land for the Greene townie on the Delaware and he stretched the town to reach the Schuylkill so that the city would face both rivers. He acquired one mile of river frontage on the Schuylkill parallel to those on the Delaware. Thus Philadelphia became a rectangle 1200 acres, stretching 2 miles in the length from east to west between the 3 rivers and 1 mile in the width North and South. William Penn hoped to create a peaceful city. When he arrived in 1682, he made a Great Treaty of Friendship with the Lenni Lenape Indians on the Delaware.
