It’s always been our plan — and we see it as our responsibility — to turn over as many of the resources we’ve uncovered in our research as possible. I will say that we’ve been lucky enough to tap into some rich veins of imagery, scholarship, and personal accounts. It might take a while, but in due time, once we’ve been able to prepare and sort these materials, it will be our great pleasure to disperse them. For a small taste in the short-term, you can head over to our
Flickr page.
I came across this on an old hard-drive, and I think that to the right person it might be interesting… perhaps even useful. Early in the process of researching public housing, I made, for my own use, this
Google Earth layer of public housing in New York City (download:
55kB KMZ, or from
Google Earth Community). In order to view the file, you’ll need to download and install
Google Earth if you have not already done so. It’s a free program, and quite worth the download, if you ask me.
I’m sure the information is, at best, out-of-date, and may very well be completely factually inaccurate in many areas. I welcome your corrections and insight. The layer is released under a
