Significant accomplishments during Van Horne's tenure include creating a research fellowship program; creating an online public access catalog; renovating a neighboring historic townhouse as a residential research center; establishing special programs relating to early American economic history, African American history, visual culture, and women’s history; and building the collections through major acquisitions. He retired from the Library Company in 2014 and is now Director Emeritus. Dr. Van Horne’s publications include many volumes of the Latrobe Papers and other edited works such as Religious Philanthropy and Colonial Slavery: The American Correspondence of the Associates of Dr. Bray, 1717-1777 (1985); The Letter Book of James Abercromby, Colonial Agent, 1751-1773 (1991); The Abolitionist Sisterhood: Women's Political Culture in Antebellum America (1994); Traveling the Pennsylvania Railroad: The Photographs of William H. Rau (2002); and America's Curious Botanist: A Tercentennial Reappraisal of John Bartram (1699-1777) (published by APS in 2004).
