Scope and Content Note

In celebration of the centennial anniversary of the Women's Committee, the Philadelphia Museum of Art brought together 100 art objects from the permanent collection that were acquired throughout the Committee's history. The selection reflected the wide range of the Museum's collections and featured both industrial and fine arts. Darrel Sewell, Curator of American Art, collaborated with the curatorial staff and the Director, Anne D'Harnoncourt, to choose exemplary pieces from over 600,000 items in the permanent collection. The exhibition was also supported through a grant from The Pew Memorial Trust.

Records include memoranda, object lists, exhibition labels, event planning, and publicity.
