Yukie Ohta is founder of the SoHo Memory Project, a nonprofit organization that celebrates and preserves the history of SoHo as a New York City neighborhood. For the past decade, Ohta has been collecting archival materials that document the transformation of SoHo from a declining industrial area to a thriving artists’ community in the 1960s and 1970s. Ohta’s archive will soon move to its permanent home at the New-York Historical Society Patricia D. Klingenstein Library. Ohta is also an eighth grade parent and the archivist at LREI.
