| Avon Calling for 75 Years, 1961 View image in Hagley Digital Archives |
With the generous support of Avon, Inc., in conjunction with their 125th anniversary, the Library has commenced a large-scale scanning effort of the Avon collection housed at the Library. While the project will be ongoing throughout the year, digitized material completed during the first phase of the project is available to view at the Hagley Digital Archives.
Demirjian Collection of DuPont Co. Packaging and Advertising
A set of material donated by Charles H. DeMirjian, who worked for the Du Pont Company from 1954 until 1991, has been digitized by the Library. Demirjian was the Manager of Packaging Design in the Consumer Products Division and his collection consists of brochures, advertisements, photographs, and ephemera showing Du Pont Company consumer products from 1913 to 1984. Chief among these products are paint and car care products such as car wash, polish, and antifreeze.
DuPont Company Advertising
A section of the DuPont Company records frequently referred to as “tearsheets”, as they have literally been “torn” from the pages of magazines, covers nearly seventy years of the company’s product advertising. This collection is used often by Hagley researchers and will no doubt be used even more now that it is online.
William du Pont Collection
The Library recently completed an online exhibit about William du Pont Jr., as well as a digital archives that includes selections from the papers of both William du Pont, Jr. and Sr. The exhibit highlights the life and contributions of William du Pont, Jr. to the Delaware Valley landscape. You can visit the exhibit at www.hagley.org/library/exhibits/wmdupont.
