9/11 Paper Ephemera Collection
Beginning the morning of September 11, 2001, I started a unique event-specific paper ephemera and autograph collection - zeroing in on New York City area occasions I would be working at or attending on my own from then on - events which I knew were going to be created and held throughout the area to address a myriad of approaching 9/11-related issues (recovery, security, war, health, costs, war deaths, civil liberties, media coverage, prisoner abuse, etc.).

@149 St.
The history, vocabulary, and ethics of grafitti art on subway cars. This site seeks to preserve the culture and work that proliferated in the 1970s and early 80s but has since been hampered by the "clean train movement" a policy whereby the MTA does not run trains that have been grafittied.

@149thSt.: Documenting New York City Graffiti
Documenting the history of writing is inevitably subjective. Due to the fact that it is an underground movement and the life span of works can be as brief as days, most of history is limited to word-of-mouth accounts. We here @149st have made a modest attempt to encapsulate the history. In addition to witnessing history first hand, we have spoken directly with many participants. Keep in mind that this site is a work in progress and its aim is to build towards an accurate telling of history.
