"Making The Archive Digestible" - Project on The Wonderment

Making The Archive Digestible

People's Graphic Design Archive

This project is to optimize the current history that is collected within peoplesgdarchive.org. As the collection continues to grow, we understand time is limited for users and supporters to spend hours browsing through items. Supporters of design history, new and old, need easier way to access our crowd-sourced virtual archive.

This project focuses on uplifting and sharing current Archive items, writing, and scholarship.

Our first goal is to re-launch PGDA’s bi-monthly email newsletter program is on our 2026 goals. In the past, email has been one of our strongest channels for sharing uploads and information collected in the archive. The medium-format updates help us move beyond social spaces and let us get a little deeper with everyone, from casual followers to an engaged and loyal community.
