Plastics Artifacts Collection
The Plastics Artifacts Collection includes images of over 3,000 historical plastic objects found within SCRC’s archival collection. This digital collection is a tool for researching the development of the plastics industry’s growth through rapid shifts in chemical composition and manufacturing spanning the past 175 years. Originally accumulated by the National Plastics Center and Museum (NPCM) in Leominster, Massachusetts, and transferred to Syracuse University Libraries when the museum closed in 2008, the Plastics Artifacts Collection holds a vibrant spectrum of historical plastic objects such as personal items like combs and jewelry, home and kitchenware, medical devices and parts, automotive components, material samples, military gear and equipment, and more. The original materials are held by the Special Collections Research Center at Syracuse University Libraries. Search the finding aid for the Plastics Artifacts Collection.
