Libraries play part in Flower Show success

Temple's librarians and archival collections played a significant part in Ambler College's award-winning entry at the 2005 Philadelphia Flower Show.

Linda Cotilla, Head of Suburban Campus Libraries, and Sandi Thompson, Ambler Librarian, served on the Flower Show Committee and provided the research, photographic images, and other archival documentation featured in the exhibit that won Best of Show in the Academic Educational category.

To illustrate the story of this significant period of Philadelphia horticultural history, the exhibit included materials from the Temple Libraries' Ambler Archives, Urban Archives, and Special Collections, as well as resources from a number of other local archives.
