Acknowledgments

Students and staff at Winterthur continually revisit the collection to ask new questions and explore the histories these objects can tell. Over the past year, graduate students had the opportunity to consider the relationship between photography and entrepreneurship based on collections at Winterthur and the Delaware Historical Society. The exhibition objects and complementary oral histories presented here invite you to ponder the ways photography allowed men, women, and children to represent and celebrate their businesses. 

The exhibition content was created by graduate students at Winterthur and the University of Delaware as part of the Historic Interiors, Oral History, and Exhibitions and Interpretation classes. We acknowledge the following individuals for their contributions to the exhibition:
