About Us

Place in History, a non-profit organization founded in 1997, sponsors projects designed to broaden the definition and the reach of community planning and neighborhood history in New York City.

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.
