In July 2009, the PACSCL/CLIR Hidden Collections in the Philadelphia Area: A Consortial Processing and Cataloging Initiative Project Team began working on an ambitious and innovative project to process and make accessible about 140 archival collections with documented research value. As we delve into the processing we will make it possible for researchers to discover little-known and long-forgotten aspects of Philadelphia and American history through the diverse voices of the people whose thoughts, theories and action shaped our world as it is today. What we uncover may provide new perspectives on traditional interpretations of politics, culture, science, medicine, religion and social act
