Re/member Black Philadelphia

Re/Member Black Philadelphia is a multimodal digital scholarship and community archiving collaboration between the GSE, Penn Libraries, the School District of Philadelphia, and multiple community partner organizations led by Dr. Strong. The project seeks to: (1) document processes of community change and displacement through multimodal storytelling, (2) support community institutions and members in digitally preserving significant historical materials, and (3) engage youth and other community members in place-based, collaborative inquiry.

Project collaborator, Dr. Jenn Garcon, Penn Postdoctoral Fellow in Public and Community Data Curation, will support student collaboration with the project. See coverage of our work, “Mapping Disparity in Philadelphia.”
