| description | The oral histories were conducted for the purposes of investigating the history of the Hagley Museum site and supporting its programs of development and interpretation. They were conducted by museum staff in two series, the first between 1954 and 1974 and the second between 1980 and 1984. The first series included survivors from among the last generation of powder workers to work in the Hagley Yard, as well as acquaintances of Mrs. Crowninshield, the last owner of the Eleutherian Mills residence, and Luther D. Reed, the first general director of the museum. The second group are primarily children of the last generation of powder workers, who describe their childhoods and life in the Wilmington area before World War II. The interviewers typically solicited a biographical sketch from each subject. A photographic portrait was taken to accompany the earliest interviews. The interviews are primarily devoted to the nature of everyday life in the Wilmington area. This includes work history at Du Pont, both on and off the Hagley site, and with other area employers, domestic life, the workers' communities surrounding the Hagley Yard, and social life outside the home. Some of the interviewees give their opinions of various members of the du Pont family and company management. Luther D. Reed gives his version of the events surrounding the formation of the Eleutherian Mills-Hagley Foundation and the original construction of the Hagley Museum. |

| title | Pierre S. Du Pont Papers, 1880-1954. | repository | Hagley Museum and Library |
| description | The personal and business papers document Pierre S. du Pont's business career and political activities. There is a significant body of material describing the history of the Du Pont Company and the General Motors Corporation which trace the transformation of these two firms into modern, centrally administered corporations during the early years of the twentieth century. The evolving relationship between business strategy and corporate structure is documented, as is the role that research and development played in shaping the success of these two companies. Records of the G.M.-Du Pont Company anti-trust suit contain important documentation on the history of two firms and the relationship that evolved between them in the years between 1920 and 1948. The files on the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment trace the campaign for repeal during the 1920s. Included are executive committee minutes, correspondence files, research notes, speeches, financial records, as well as material on the Labor Commission on Prohibition, and Veteran's Repeal League. American Liberty League papers document du Pont's opposition to the New Deal. The collection also includes a substantial body of material on economic conditions during the Depression. The records can be found in the National Labor Board files. Pierre du Pont's role in building the Empire State Building in New York City is well documented, as are his numerous outside investments and directorships. There are also records tracing his involvement in the movement to reform education in Delaware and modernize the state highway system. The early years of Longwood Gardens are also well described. Biographical and Historical Notes: Pierre Samuel du Pont was born at Nemours, Delaware on January 15, 1870. He was the eldest son of Lammot and Mary Belin du Pont. He graduated from the William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia in 1886 and from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology four years later. After graduation he returned to Delaware and became assistant superintendent of the Brandywine black powder mills. During the late 1890s he invested in the Citizens Gas & Electric Company and The Johnson Company of Lorain, Ohio. In the years between 1899 and 1902 he worked with his two cousins, T. Coleman and Alfred I. du Pont to reorganize the Du Pont company, which was formally incorporated under the name of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company on February 26, 1902. With T. Coleman as president, Pierre became vice president, treasurer, and assistant secretary. As a member of the finance committee he played a pivotal role in reorganizing the company into a multi-divisional, modern corporation. In 1907 he was named as a defendant in an anti-trust case which five years later resulted in the signing of a consent degree which led to the formation of the Hercules and Atlas Powder companies. In 1915 P. S. du Pont purchased T. Coleman's stock and in 1915 he became president of the company. In 1915 he was elected as director of the General Motors Company, which at the time was near bankruptcy. Working with Alfred Sloan he reorganized the company and in 19. 20 replaced William C. Durant as president. In the 1920s Pierre S. du Pont was very active in the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment. In 1933 he was named to the National Industrial Recovery Administration's National Labor Relations Board, but resigned a year later. In the years between 1934 and 1941, he was active in the American Liberty League. In 1944 he resigned from the board of General Motors, but found himself four years later involved in an anti-trust suit when the government charged the G.M.-Du Pont Company relationship was an illegal restraint of trade. In 1953 Pierre du Pont chartered the Longwood Library Association. He died on April 5, 1954. |
