Archiving the City

This research strand focuses on the cultural forms through which the modern city is archived. It examines the different ways—via institutions, public art, collective practice, and more—in which urban history and memory are organised and presented in contemporary culture and city space.

Funded in various elements by the Departments of Sociology, History, and the Centre for Modern Studies at York, the project entails research collaboration abroad through site visits and conferences on specific themes at York.
