Historic Philadelphia Photographs

| | Comments (0)

A partnership between the Philadelphia City Archives and the for-profit Avencia, Inc. has resulted in the creation of Phillyhistory.org, a website that provides users with an extensive online photo archive, historic streets index, and index to print photographs held in the Archives. According to Avencia, the site now provides access to "more than 20,000 scanned historic images" of Philadelphia (Avencia.com).
