The Hunt: East Village Urban Archive Scavenger Hunt

Urban Archive is a location-based mobile platform that holds multiple digital collections, including VP’s Historic Image Archive. The app is built for discovery, and for empowering New Yorkers to learn about history where it happened – and with this tool, VP’s archive images will be the basis for the scavenger hunt. Teams will explore the East Village on a guided contest to match old photos with new locations, and discover where the past and the present meet. Drinks and instructions will kick off the hunt, and when we meet back up prizes will be awarded to the top three teams and everyone will gather after their hard work for a reception with snacks and drinks.
