Complete Philadelphia Jewish Archives Collection Endowment Campaign of $1.8 million, and prepare for its future, to be reached by the end of the calendar year 2019.
Outreach & Communication
We seek to develop a wide range of programs that will help position the libraries as a cross-disciplinary learning and cultural center, with a specific goal of increasing attendance by 5%.
We will use Eventbrite registration with a reminder feature to estimate attendance numbers in advance, and a headcount at programs to gather actual attendance rates.
Press
Publish 45 to 50 scholarly and trade books that support and expand research and scholarship, are used in courses, or are of interest to the general public. Of these, publish at least three titles in partnership with local organizations (e.g., Mural Arts, Jazz Bridge, Winterthur) or on subjects related to the region (e.g., the Eagles), strengthening Press (and by extension, university) relationships within and support of the region.
Special Collections Research Center
Mount fall exhibits supporting Beyond the Page programming and highlighting student work.
