I’ll Fly Away: Birds, Slaves, Audubon, and Flying Africans

Join professor Brigitte Fielder as she examines symbolism of antislavery imagery.

Paul Laurence Dunbar knows “why the caged bird sings” in part because of such connections between the enslavement of black people and the captivity of animals that were so prominent in nineteenth-century culture. Because birds, in particular, were viewed as symbols of freedom, arguments that they should not be caged abounded in discourses on pet-keeping.

Researching the Effect of the 1918 Spanish Flu on Your Family History

From the Stacks - HSP's Collection and the Story of Pennsylvania's Health

The archives of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania offer an intriguing look at the development of health and medicine in Pennsylvania. Among the most important of those records are the papers of Samuel Gibson Dixon, a prominent scientist, president of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Science, and the state’s first commissioner of health. His papers, alone, cover forty years of medical history in Pennsylvania.
