Here’s an initiative that would make even our mothers proud! With Mother’s Day right around the corner, we thought we’d create a new way to help you show your mom just how much you care.
Dig into your family archives and send us your favorite photo of her, along with a few lines about when and where the shot was taken. We’ll add your submission to Urban Archive’s map as tribute!
Here are a few examples of what we’re looking for:
“My mother, Judith Ackerman Sanger, pregnant with me in June 1962 in front of Metropolitan Museum of Art.”
—Erika Sanger
“Me with my mom and my dog KoKo I am not quite 2 years old. Taken probably spring 1958.“
—Robyn Roth-Moise
“My mother, sister, and myself (little one). Taken July 1952 by my Dad on our visit to Lady Liberty with my Grandma also.“
—Arlene Berry
Want to get in on the fun?
Submissions will be accepted through Sunday, May 9th. We’ll then close out the holiday with a story that spotlights the coolest and sweetest “city moms” on Urban Archive, including yours. Want to get in on the fun? Email us a photo of your Mom in NYC!
