Memory Mapping New Haven for America’s 250th

For America’s 250th birthday, we’re celebrating New Haven’s collective history in a culmination of moments big and small, from the personal to the public, and that includes you! What individual moments, milestones, and histories make up your memory of New Haven? Share your story with us by adding your photos and the stories that accompany them onto our physical and digital maps of New Haven. If you have delicate photos, film, or documents you’d like to digitize or preserve, be sure to sign up to learn how to use the Memory Lab located right here within Ives Squared!
