ABSTRACT

Elwyn is found outside Media, Pennsylvania, and houses extensive historical archives that include original source material from four separate organizations. These include Elwyn itself (historically, the Pennsylvania Training School for Feeble-Minded Children), the Vineland Training School (historically, the New Jersey Home for the Education and Care of Feeble-Minded Children), Philadelphia Orphan Society, and Speaking for Ourselves. This article includes a brief description of each organization and then describes the museum and archival holdings in some detail.
