The Hagley Vault

The Hagley Museum and Library of Wilmington, Delaware is a non-profit educational institution dedicated to the history of business and technology in the United States. The Hagley Vault virtually presents a number of fascinating items from the museum's archives, including advertisements, pamphlets, photographs, and more. This highly entertaining and unique collection of ephemera calls attention to a number of products and trends of yesteryear. Folks with facial hair looking for some new styles may want to check out one recent post that features pages from a 1967 book entitled Practice and Science of Standard Barbering. Meanwhile, those hungry for a sandwich can check out recipes from a 1934 cookbook from Wonder Bread. Another highlight is a collection of surreal-looking doll advertisements from 1910. New items are added almost daily, and fans of this eclectic collection can also follow the vault on social media.
