About Us

Place in History, a nonprofit organization founded in 1997, examines urban development and redevelopment through community-based public art and public history projects.

Through neighborhood-based workshops, public installations, educational programs and publications, Place in History uses history as a foundation to build communication among diverse local constituencies, particularly those excluded from decision-making processes. 

In the process, our projects raise questions about important contemporary urban issues such as neighborhood redevelopment, community identity, and local culture.
