In the summer of 2014, dozens of people were evicted from their homes in the park known as “The Albany Bulb.” This website makes all the photos collected by the Archaeology of the Albany Bulb available for viewing with three different set of tags: those of the archaeologist, the resident, and the real-estate developer. These tags serve as three perspectives that illuminate how the heritage of homelessness can be supported or erased by the database.
