Scope and Contents
This series documents McIlhenny's lifetime of service and philanthropy to numerous institutions in Philadelphia and in Ireland.

This series consists of a variety of material, including correspondence, invoices and receipts, ephemera, and meeting minutes, the bulk of which relates to McIlhenny's affiliation with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia Orchestra Association, the Academy of Music and the Metropolitan Opera.
