Treasure Philly! Rethinking Cultural Resources Preservation

presented by Shannon Garrison

Treasure Philly! is the Philadelphia Historical Commission’s cultural resources survey pilot. Since summer 2023, the Treasure Philly! team has partnered with community members to document the history of the area around Broad, Germantown, and Erie (BGE) through storytelling and survey. The Philadelphia Historical Commission plans to expand this community-centered approach to survey city-wide. This presentation will cover our work at BG&E, what we’ve learned during the pilot stage, and next steps for the Treasure Philly! project.

Shannon Garrison is a preservation planner with the Philadelphia Historical Commission. She has been involved with the Treasure Philly! project since 2020.
