Daily News | City and Drexel are back in court seeking to decide the future of Philadelphia’s history
Neither the city nor its would-be partner, Drexel University, was willing Wednesday to put a price tag on the cost of maintaining and caring for the 100,000-plus artifact collection of the Philadelphia History Museum, which the city wants to pass along to Drexel.
“The transfer agreement contains no commitment of funding, none,” said Tom Johnson, a lawyer for the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, which has been seeking to participate in the suit in Orphans’ Court. Orphans’ Court is involved because it has jurisdiction over cases involving trusts and wills. Judge Sheila Woods-Skipper, noting the HSP is a “former owner,” denied HSP’s petition to join the litigation as an interested party.
Should the court approve the transfer of the collection, “we would ... take those obligations very seriously,” he said. Fry declined to elaborate after the hearing, citing the litigation, but said he would provide details once the court renders a decision.
