In February, the Presbyterian Historical Society (PHS) welcomed Matty Marrow as the most recent Building Knowledge and Breaking Barriers (BKBB) Archives Intern.
Marrow’s internship was part of PHS’s multi-year collaboration with Community College of Philadelphia (CCP). The BKBB grant project started in 2017 and grew out of the belief that PHS could create meaningful firsthand encounters between CCP students and historically resonant documents, build research and critical-thinking skills important to student success in academic and vocational pursuits and identify ways to assist Philadelphia students and educators more after the grant ended.
