DuPont Company Museum collection

About this collection

    The DuPont Company Museum collection (Accession 1968.001) consists of images documenting the history of the DuPont Company. The materials in this collection were originally compiled by the DuPont Company Museum, transferred to the Hagley Museum in 1954, and subsequently to the Hagley Library in 1968.
    Among other subjects, the images depict the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York.; the construction of Coleman du Pont Road; production of Phenolin; game birds advertising series; Haskwell Works explosion aftermath, cartoons of employees; a women's baseball league for employees; and company plants at Old Hickory, Tennessee and Farmingdale, New Jersey. The collection has not been digitized in its entirety; this is a curated selection of items.
