On Thursday, September 14th DVAG held its general meeting in the Samuel L. Paley Library on Temple University’s main campus. The meeting was hosted by Temple University’s Urban Archives as it coincided with the archives 50th anniversary. The archives provided the space, pizza, cake and there was also a new 20 case exhibit on display.
