Chemical Heritage Foundation (Philadelphia, PA)

Thursday, October 20, 2016, 11:00 pm EDT

For one night only, discover hidden treasures from the Othmer Library of Chemical History as we open our vaults in celebration of American Archives Month.

This year we’re exploring the golden days of Mad Men with vintage science ads. Visitors are encouraged to dress the part in 1960s attire, and will have the opportunity to create their own ad posters, enjoy light refreshments, and chat with our archivists and librarians.


You won’t want to miss this exclusive peek at our archives—RSVP today!
