Hosted by Drexel University Libraries, Collections & Archives, with Toni Pitock, PhD, Department of History (College of Arts & Sciences), and Atwater Kent Collection at Drexel. With support from Campus250.   

This special 2026 installment of the Drexel Libraries, Collections and Archives’ Library Exhibit Initiative features a student-curated display created in collaboration with Associate Teaching Professor Toni Pitock, PhD, Department of History, College of Arts & Sciences.  

Students in Dr. Pitock’s History of Philadelphia courses toured the Atwater Kent Collection at Drexel’s storage facility and selected objects from the 1876 Centennial, 1926 Sesquicentennial, and 1976 Bicentennial, researching their history and relevance. Curated by Drexel students Kat McKeown and Sophia Stutte, the exhibit features excerpts from students’ assignments, related artifacts, and an interactive prompting visitor reflection.
