  • NYCHA Collection
    Learning Places Spring 2016 LIBRARY / ARCHIVE REPORT Laguardia’s Wagner Archives - NYCHA Collection Jessica Samide 04.11.2015 INTRODUCTION The class met at Laguardia Community College outside of the Wagner Archives. The purpose of this visit was for the archivists to educate the class on NYCHA projects relating to Urban Renewal in Vinegar Hill. We broke off into two separate groups and each group sat down with an archivist who provided us with photographs. The photographs were not of Vinegar Hill, but they were of similar housing projects from Manhattan that were built around the same time. After the archivists discussed the photographs with us, we were taken into the space where they store their content. Lastly, we met with a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador who gave a presentation on editing wikipedia and how to post citations. PRE-VISIT REFLECTION The trip to the Wager Archives will be focused on gathering information on the New York City Housing Authority, which is an organization the was founded in the 1930s. Because the focus of my project is from the l880s until about 1915, the information that will be gathered is not very applicable to my research. However, I am still looking forward to learning about the various NYCHA projects. I may even be able to make connections on how the events of the time period that I am focusing my research on has led to the creation of this organization. SOURCES found 1.
