Archival Resources

Preservation Detroit has safeguarded the stories of our city’s neighborhoods, architecture, and cultural heritage for decades — but our archives need your help to continue that mission. Thousands of irreplaceable photographs, documents, oral histories, and artifacts are waiting to be properly preserved, digitized, and made accessible to the public. With your support, we can build the professional capacity needed to:

  • Organize, catalog, and conserve historic collections.

  • Train staff and volunteers in archival best practices.

  • Digitize materials to share with researchers, students, and the community.
