National Council on Public History

The CUNY Digital History Archive (CDHA) is an open, participatory digital public archive and portal that provides public online access to a range of archival materials related to the history of the City University of New York, the nation's largest urban university system and first urban, tuition-free public higher ed institution. The CDHA conducts and collects oral history interviews as well as accept historical materials held by individuals whose lives, in diverse ways, have been shaped by CUNY. The CDHA is both an archival repository of digital materials and a portal to already existing digital materials contained in archives across CUNY. Most CDHA collections document a history of activism and collective efforts to make public education in NYC more inclusive and equal.
