ABOUT US

The Miami Metropolitan Archive (MMA) is the brainchild of former City of Miami City Clerk Walter Foeman. Known for his keen interest in new technologies and civic engagement, Foeman and his staff began exploring ways to digitize early City documents with Florida International University librarians in Spring 2001. Since that time, the project has expanded to include additional archives and collections beyond City Clerk's Office holdings with the goal to provide free and open access to Miami's unique urban history.

Currently, MMA curators are focused on preserving and disseminating early Miami materials (1896-1956). The archive will always grow, however, like the municipalities and people it serves.

Additional information on the Project Team, Technical Aspects of digitization, and Research Assistance for citizens, students, and researchers is provided on site.

Please let us know if you have any comments on our effort to preserve the rich documentary history of this ever-evolving and diverse place and space.


--Megan Waters, Former Project Director
