Appendix C: Documentation Topics Framework — Summary
This framework of 18 broad topics is designed to support efforts to build a comprehensive, balanced, and equitable documentary record of New York’s history and culture. Given the enormous scope, diversity and significance of human activity, knowledge, and experience in and about New York, the task of creating a comprehensive documentary record is daunting indeed. Without some rational framework for organizing the range of possible topics for documentation, it would be nearly impossible. This list attempts to meet that need.
