ABOUT
In 2016, Urban Archive was launched as an experiment with the Museum of the City of New York, Brooklyn Historical Society, and New York Public Library. Our founding team set out to develop a digital experience for organizations that would breathe new life into their archives and engage users in the history of their surroundings.
Ben Smyth is the co-founder of the technology nonprofit Urban Archive and owner of the design studio Little Mega. He lives and works in New York City. For the last 7 years, Ben and the team at Urban Archive have been creating technology that enhances collection engagement and digital storytelling.
