Burden Archive is working to bring forward lost photographic evidence of the racist and destructive policies of 1960's Urban Renewal in San Francisco. These tragic but beautifully captured images validate the lived memory of the community elders. Confronting the difficult past invites discussion of a more equitable future for urban planning. The resulting assets will be offered in publications, exhibitions, college curriculum and general availability through a public library system--both on-site and online.
Donations will be used to produce research, writing and photograph digital restoration. Funding will support digital restoration of photographic negatives, and research that produces writings about the historic, cultural and artistic importance of the images. The materials being developed will greatly expand the scant available history and foster multi-generational understanding of the destructive effects of Urban Renewal on the mostly Black community in the Western Addition in San Francisco.
To continue developing this important social justice work, progressing toward our public-offering goals, we ask for your donation to fund our next steps on content production.
