Documenting History
We are collecting and curating a wide variety of materials for the City Tech Anti-Hate initiative, focusing on documents, archival footage, and creative works related to the project's themes. In collaboration with the City Tech Library, we aim to establish a living digital archive that will be updated and expanded in future iterations of the initiative, and available for submissions at any time, and accessible to anyone interested in exploring the diverse cultures and community at City Tech. This page provides an overview of the types of collections we plan to include and includes a link to the upload site, complete with instructions for how to contribute to our growing resource, ensuring it remains relevant and useful for ongoing educational and engagement purposes.
