Join us for a tour of the Public Design Commission (PDC) Archive!
The PDC maintains an archive of projects reviewed by the Commission since 1902, documenting nearly 8,000 sites throughout New York City and providing a unique view into the history of the City’s public works that showcases how social, political and economic factors and world events can shape the public realm.
Learn about the origins of the PDC, an overview of the PDC’s jurisdiction over the public realm, and discover the role that the Archive plays when it comes to providing vital background for old and current public projects and research assistance to PDC staff, New York City agency staff, and the public.
Accessibility
The Archive is wheelchair accessible and chairs will be made available for visitors within the archive. The tour will be largely standing and a short visual tour of the archive before reviewing individually displayed archival records.
