Hagley Museum staff conducted a series oral history interviews between 1954 and 1990, speaking primarily with individuals
who had worked at the DuPont Company powder yards on Brandywine Creek during the yards’ final decades of operation or who
had lived near the yards as spouses or children of DuPont Co. workers. Some of the individuals who were interviewed donated,
lent for copying, or provided information on the photographs in this collection. The images primarily depict the worker communities
which surrounded the E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company powder yards on Brandywine Creek or the powder yards themselves.

| Abstract: |
E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company is a chemical company, which began as a manufacturer of gunpowder in 1802. In 1939, the
Seaford Plant was created by the DuPont Company near Seaford, Delaware to be the world’s first nylon plant. Dr. Wallace Hume
Carothers (1896-1937) first produced Nylon at the DuPont Experimental Station in 1935. After determining that low-cost production
was possible, the DuPont Company set out to build a plant to produce its first product, women's nylon hosiery. Seaford lost
many of its first male employees to the war effort, but female workers oversaw the production of nylon for parachutes and
B-29 bomber tires. After World War II, the plant was an important part of the DuPont Company’s textile fiber program. One
of the production units was converted into a pilot plant in 1948 for “Fiber X”, later to be introduced as Dacron. In the mid-1980s,
DuPont began downsizing at the plant and by 2003, sold its synthetic fiber division Invista, to Koch Industries, Inc. in a
deal that included the Seaford plant. This collection documents nylon production at the DuPont Company Seaford plant in Seaford,
Delaware. It contains photographs, negatives, pamphlets, two 16mm films and one VHS videocassette. The photographs and negatives
document the exterior, employees, production of Nylon and miscellaneous activities at the Seaford plant and products created
from nylon. The pamphlets were made by the DuPont Company and cover subjects such as world trade, research and pollution control.
One pamphlet is specifically about the Seaford nylon plant. The film “Seaford Plant Start-Up” and film transfer on videocassette,
document the opening of the plant on November 1, 1939 as well as some production when the plant opened on December 12, 1939.
