These icons year for Hagley. I look forward to an even define our landmark property, and it is our more successful year ahead and hope to see responsibility to steward and preserve them you at one or more of our popular events! for generations to come. With this important work of preservation in mind, Hagley has begun over the past year a campaign to support restoration of the historic core under the auspices of The 1817 Society, a group of du Pont family members who will partner with DowDuPont Henry B. duPont IV on this once-in-a- generation philanthropic President initiative. DowDuPont shares our appreciation for Hagley’s rich heritage and our interest in revitalizing and preserving our unique property. I thank DowDuPont for their leadership gift toward this campaign, which has been generously matched by contributions from members of the du Pont family. As you will read in David Cole’s annual letter, Hagley is also taking unprecedented steps to expand its reach beyond our national landmark property. Our patent model collection, with deep roots in our country’s inventive past, is introducing Hagley to global audiences through our exhibition “Spirit of Invention,” which opened in China in March. Similarly, in our library, work continues to expand Hagley’s global reach through improvements such as an upgraded digital archives interface and infrastructure ELEUTHERIAN MILLS - HAGLEY FOUNDATION 2017

Dear Friends, to the public. And I am delighted to report that we made In March of 2017, I had the pleasure of traveling across significant strides in each of these endeavors in 2017. China and visiting cities and museums that will play host to On the collecting front, curators across the property Hagley’s groundbreaking patent model exhibition, “Spirit of were busy indeed. The Library added more than 560 linear Invention,” in 2018. During my travels, I met many Chinese feet of materials to its Published Collections, Audiovisual museum curators, university administrators and students, Materials, and Manuscripts and Archives holdings. There were government officials, and cultural tourists from all walks some real gems embedded in these accessions, spanning of life. After discussing our exhibition project with these a range of media and historical periods: papers from the new acquaintances, the talk would invariably turn to my founder of the Society of Industrial Designers; a collection of institution: Where is Hagley? And what sort of place is it? Frank Schoonover photographic negatives, transferred from At first blush, these seemed like easy questions to the Delaware Art Museum; records from the Pennsylvania answer. I would trace Hagley’s roots to the du Pont family’s Railroad, which add to our already robust holdings on this entrepreneurial experiment on the banks of the Brandywine, legendary company; the Margolies Collection of travel illustrating my descriptions with photos of iconic structures ephemera; and key additions to our Sherwood Partners that are so familiar to our members and regular visitors: collection of dot-com companies.

At the downstream end of our research center built on a foundation of hundreds of property, the Museum’s curators were equally active. While thousands of publications, rare audiovisual materials, and busy unpacking and cataloging patent models from our more than seven linear miles (!) of historic documents that acquisition of the Rothschild Patent Model Collection in 2015, are gold mines for business historians. And, in a nod to my curators found time to add 164 new items to the Museum’s host country, I never failed to describe the dazzling and collections. Notable additions include artifacts from the innovative annual fireworks shows that light up our beautiful personal belongings of E.I. du Pont’s children and important property in June. samples of DuPont company products and artwork.

Executive Director In the Library, some impressive numbers suggest that our perpetual commitment to collections access bore fruit again in 2017. Librarians arranged and described more than 1,000 linear feet of archival materials and created more than 4,700 new catalog records. The Library also licensed materials from its Seagram, DuPont, and trade literature collections to contribute to publisher Adam Matthew’s forthcoming “Food & Drink History” project. Closer to home, as part of a continuing and successful effort to engage new audiences in the Wilmington area, the Library offered a course through the University of Delaware’s Osher Lifelong Center, titled “Hagley Does History!”, featuring a semester’s worth of presentations by Library staff on topics drawn from our collections. These presentations, along with our popular Author Talk series, connect an interested public with scholars whose research illuminates fascinating dimensions of the history of capitalism.
