In March 1850, the Borough of Media was officially incorporated by a Special Act of Assembly. This collection is a portrait of the borough as it exists in 2025. To that end, we’re collecting photographs of every building in the borough.
Architecture is interesting, it's part of what makes Media such a distinctive place. Photos that show family members, business owners, organization staffs, volunteers and members, clergy and congregations are also included to provide a fuller portrait of Media in 2025.
