Tell your story: contribute to the EPA Community Archive
We need your help to tell the full story of East Palo Alto’s past. Consider the many ways to submit artifacts and choose the best option to tell your story.
Why Submit to the Archive?
East Palo Alto prides itself on being for the people, by the people. The East Palo Alto Community Archive is no different. Everyone in this community has contributed to making East Palo Alto what it is today and we are looking to you to help us tell that story.
Do you have physical photos, programs, and other historical objects at home? Schedule an appointment to drop-off artifacts or to have them picked up by an archive team member.
