This 30-minute panel is to introduce the DPD Archives to the larger archival community and provide non-archivist feedback about the effectiveness of an active municipal archive in supporting government work. The attending staff are each specialists in different types of city planning and can provide targeted answers to attendee questions about comprehensive planning, legislative work, historic preservation, and public art and aesthetics. Each staffer will present an example of how the DPD Archives have been involved in their work, along with a brief overview of the archive. There will be a Q+A in the final ten minutes.

Speakers:
Henry Felsman: City Planner, Art and Design
Sarah Banh: AICP
Kristin Hankins, PhD: Historic Preservation Planner
Michael Gall: North Delaware District and Legislative Planner
Rebekah Grimes: DPD Archivist
