Starting in 1950, he worked in almost every department, serving as editor and publisher from 1975 to 1980.  William McLean died on August 27, 2011, at age 83.     Mr. McLean\u2019s family took over ownership of the paper in 1895, and he ensured that its history and the history of Philadelphia it reported were preserved by beginning the donation of the photographs to Temple in February 1979.  Most recently, Mr. McLean participated in an oral history interview Margaret Jerrido conducted with him on August 4.  The recording and transcription of that interview will soon be available for research use.  We are grateful for Mr. McLean\u2019s lifelong commitment to documenting, studying, and learning from history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the richest resources in Temple Libraries\u2019 Special Collections Research Center for the study of the history of Philadelphia and the region is the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin photographs and clippings.
