Discover the History of West Philadelphia

West Philadelphia Collaborative History is a project sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education, in conjunction with the Netter Center for Community Partnerships. The core of the project is a website with resources on the history of 20th- and 21st-century West Philadelphia. Augmenting the site will be a series of programs to encourage community collaboration and to support educators seeking to use local history in the classroom. The project is co-developed with leading West Philadelphia community activists and will incorporate participation and input from West Philadelphia residents, organizations, teachers, and students. The site was constructed thanks to a generous donation from Ruth Moorman and Sheldon Simon.
