This project uses digital community archiving and oral history to protect and share neglected histories of medical harm and political struggle among Black and Latine communities in New Haven, Connecticut. With ACLS support, the Community Histories Lab (CHL) and its partners will build the People’s Health Archive of New Haven—an online, open-source, and searchable archive that will digitize unexplored records and oral histories from the major activist organization of unhoused New Haveners and the two largest clinics serving communities of color in our city today. CHL will host and record educational workshops on how to use the Archive at the Public Library. This Archive will serve as a critical resource for memorializing legacies of health activism and demanding justice for historical harm.
