Autographs collections. Description An account of the resource Frank M. Etting's connection with the Historical Society began in 1855 when he was elected recording secretary at age 22. After a decade in the army, 1861-1870, he returned to Philadelphia to begin a career of public service. He became director of the city's public schools, chairman of the committee to restore Independence Hall, and director of the Historical Department of the Centennial, 1876.

It consists of three distinct groups of papers: an autograph collection containing materials of distinguished Americans and Europeans, 1558-1887; family papers, 1739-1847, which document the efforts of the Gratz, Frank, Etting, and Hart families and their associates in the settlement and development of trade in early Pennsylvania and contain some information on the domestic affairs of these families; and, finally, a group of papers on the public and professional career of Frank M. Etting. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Etting, Frank M.
