Scribe Video Center Program:

The Precious Places Community History Project is a community oral history project inviting members of the Philadelphia region's many neighborhoods to document the buildings, public spaces, parks, landmarks and other sites that hold the memories of our communities and define where we live. Precious Places teaches the video production process to participating groups, fostering projects authored by those who intimately know the featured neighborhoods.

Film Story:

Ever since Wynnefield was first settled by immigrants from Wales in the 1690s, it has seen over 300 years of peaceful neighborhood transitions. By focusing on three landmarks that embody the neighborhood’s major changes (the Wynne House, the Har Zion Temple, and the Anderson Center), the video will show how Wynnefield residents actively and respectfully guided the community’s racial and religious transitions.
