Series

A series is a curated collection of stories, usually centered around a theme. These initiatives bring our partners together on Urban Archive to share untold and often overlooked narratives in their collections, by framing them in a new context collaboratively. 

Here’s a few examples of some series that have taken place on Urban Archive:

We’re telling the stories of leaders in our own communities -- whether they be mayors, community organizers, or hometown heroes. These are the stories of New York City’s leaders we admire.

March is Women’s History Month. We’ll be celebrating those who have made their mark on the city, whether it be large or small.

Coming soon!

These past months have shown us that calls for meaningful change are not just a distant part of history. Activists in New York are, to this day, working to build a better future.

New York City’s history is told through the stories of its buildings. This collection tells the narrative of a selection of structures throughout the city.

To celebrate the incredible work of those who keep New York going, we highlighted the work of New York’s Foundation: City Agencies 

Beaches, parks, and great weather… there’s nothing like #SummerInTheCity! These stories remind us of the great summers of years past.

I Have an idea! How do I get involved?

We’d love to hear from anyone who is interested in being part of a series. If you’re interested in pitching an idea, shoot us an email! We’re always looking to collaborate.
