ARCHIVES VISIT (E238) The project will begin at the LaGuardia & Wagner Archives (Dr. Richard Lieberman, Director) during a class visit on DATE at TIME. As a repository for documents pertaining to NYC (Mayors, City Council, Housing Authority) the Archive collection deals with many problem issues that affect the lives of New Yorkers, including environmental protection, LGBTQ rights, sex education, gun control, housing discrimination and gentrification, anti-immigrant policies and bias, domestic abuse, homelessness, police and community relationships, gang violence, and animal welfare. The staff of the Archives will introduce students to its collections, demonstrate close reading of primary source documents, and suggest ways to research their topics in the Archives, in the library, and on the Internet.
