News archives will bring Philadelphia history into focus at Temple University (USA)

The history of 20th Century Philadelphia just came into sharper focus at Temple University. The university's Urban Archives, a collection that charts the social, cultural and political history of the city, is now home to the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News archives from 1900 to 2005. The archives - the equivalent of more than 675 file cabinets-worth of original clippings, photos, and negatives dating roughly from 1900 to 2005 - were transferred to Temple in June by Interstate General Media, the newspapers' parent company, as the organization moved from 400 North Broad Street to a new headquarters at 801 Market Street. Temple's Urban Archives, part of the Special Collections Research Center (SCRC), also house the Evening Bulletin, 6ABC, and KYW-TV archives, making it one of the most significant primary resources available on city and regional history
