The Events series focuses on four main events: the DuPont Company's annual Martin Luther King Jr. two-day event from 1991 to 2011, the DuPont Company's 200th anniversary in 2002, the 1939 New York World's Fair, and the Tour DuPont in 1991.

In 1991, the DuPont Company began hosting an annual two-day series of events to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The program varied from year to year, but often included interfaith concerts, musical tributes, a multicultural legal clinic, children's events, social justice lectures, and community forums. There was always an "Educational Convocation" followed by a "Day of Celebration." Begining in 2006, the city of Wilmington, Delaware, began co-sponsoring the annual program and encouraging community-service projects and involvement. The collection contains images and videotape recordings of the two main events.

In 2002, the DuPont Company celebrated its 200th anniversary. There are photographs of events, and several videos created for these events. A book was also created to commemorate the anniversary. A few images from the Dupont Company's 150th anniversary in 1952 show a marker being placed at Hagley Museum and Library.
