Detroit “Archive” City

---

Abstract

Known as the “Comeback City,” Detroit has consistently risen from the ashes, from the Great Fire of 1805 through white flight in the mid-twentieth century to its emergence from Chapter 9 bankruptcy in 2014. A rich cultural center, the Detroit Metro area is diverse, home to the largest Middle Eastern population, the fifth largest Latino community, and one of the first middle-class African American communities in the United States. Detroit’s institutions are dedicated to preserving the legacy of its art, culture, music, and the history of its inhabitants. In commemoration of this year’s MAC Annual Meeting in Detroit, “Innovation, Transformation, Resurgence,” the following is a portrait of the Motor City’s digital archival resources.
