What resources about Philadelphia neighborhoods does the library have?
The Free Library of Philadelphia can guide you to many different neighborhood resources. The Social Science and History Department at Parkway Central has history books on many neighborhoods and ethnic groups. It also has a vertical file of clippings and other information dealing with Philadelphia neighborhoods and local history in general. We also have a file that indexes information about neighborhoods and ethnic groups in other sources. All of these materials must be used at the Library. You can find the websites of community, business, and historical organizations of Philadelphia neighborhoods in the Social Science and History Department’s Internet directory at www.delicious.com/freelibraryssh. You can also search for neighborhood profiles in newspapers in the Newspaper and Microfilm Department.
