On Thursday, Oct. 16 from 3:00pm-4:00pm, we hosted four visitors to the Archives and Special Collections @ NYCCT Open House for New York Archives Week 2025.  It was organized and setup by Wanett Clyde, Kel Karpinski, Jennifer Hoyer, and Keith Muchowski. For the event, they displayed artifacts from the archive, including artwork, photos, student newspapers, and books. During the event, Jason Ellis gave a presentation on the City Tech Science Fiction Collection. Our discussions ranged from maintaining archives, challenges to growing special collections, sustainability, and practical advice for entering the field.
