This is a collection of maps, images, memos, correspondence, and oral histories from RPA’s extensive archive, digitized for the first time as part of the organization’s Centennial celebration. This material sheds new light on the history of the New York metropolitan region and the planning profession itself, for the benefit of researchers and the general public. The digital archive is a work in progress.
