New local project (all volunteer) to photograph and tell the stories of the Archives of the Grand Rapids Public Museum, currently stored at the archives and at 54 Jefferson. Lots posted already - another 40-50 in process.

Very cool project - thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Thanks, i know its a bit out of range for normal topics here- but figured this group would be interested.

I think there's a good amount of discussion of urban history here, so it's perfectly appropriate! Thanks for showing it off.

Can't wait to visit Site:Lab in a few weeks to see how you've transformed the space (AGAIN!).

This looks like a very exciting project. Can't wait to see what they pull out of the vaults. I heard the amount/quality of artifacts that are NOT on display is phenomenal.

If you want to sign up to take the tour and write post, email me [email protected] - the archives are fascinating! I have picked my object - just need to finish my post.

We got the chance to talk to Emily Richett while she was in the space doing some SiTE:LAB coverage.

A little more about the project...
