The Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP), working in collaboration with the City of Philadelphia Department of Records and the University of Pennsylvania School of Design, has received over $500,000 in grants to develop PhilaPlace: A Neighborhood History And Culture Project. PhilaPlace will be an interactive Web resource launching in fall 2008 chronicling the history, culture, and architecture of two of Philadelphia’s oldest immigrant and African American neighborhoods, South Philadelphia and Northern Liberties/Kensington.
