    Hello everyone -

    My name is Shai and I am writing my thesis on how zoos present their history. I will focus on the Philadelphia zoo 150 anniversary which included a zoo history trail. Unfortunately the zoo archives couldn't find the signs from the history trail (but did find the history exhibit signs) - and that's why I need your help - if anyone has pictures from this history trail I would be very happy to get them for my research.

    Thank you!

    Shai

    I remember taking a few photos of the history of the zoo but they will all be uploaded onto this site (late 2010). If you search the gallery you might be able to find what you are looking for but my guess is that there are not that many photos of history signs there.
