This site provides information about the history
and future of metropolitan Detroit. Please consider contributing a page.
As you observe, most pages show
one or several pictures of a location and then provide a verbal description
of that site. Many locations in this website are within the city of Detroit
or its suburbs, although there are web pages describing events or places outside
Detroit but important for the city’s development. Buildings, historical
markers and important sites are included. However, there are no pages devoted
to buildings that were torn down before 2000.
If you wish to contribute a page, please send
us a jpg file of the photo to be included and a Word file of the text. If
the page your contribute fits with
the themes of the Detroit1701 site, we will include it and acknowledge your
contribution. Please send the photo and text to: Ren Farley (renf@umich.edu)
or Judy Mullin (judym@umich.edu). If you have any questions, please let us
know.
