Urban Archive calls for summer-themed photos taken within New York City's five boroughs, emphasizing images that feature individuals. These personal snapshots should capture moments like playing with fire hydrants or swimming in city pools and will become part of the Queens Memory Project. The open submission process continues throughout the summer, requiring details such as the photo's date and location. The initiative collaborates with Melting Metropolis, which studies the effects of heat on urban dwellers since 1945.
