Event Description: The New York City Municipal Archives (NYCMA) will host a tour of the storage and research location at Industry City in Brooklyn where archivists are processing the City Commission on Human Rights Collection. In 2024, the National Historical Publications and Records Commission awarded the NYCMA a grant to process and partially digitize the collection. Once processing is completed, the collection will provide significant documentation on the evolution of laws, investigations, and prosecutions related to housing, employment, gender, and race discrimination. During the program, processing archivists will share insights regarding personal privacy issues and the use of harmful language redescription as well as featuring some of the great finds that were hidden within the collection.
