At the moment this archive is trying to answer research questions regarding the environmental hazards and related institutional infrastructures and ecosystems that surround the high school, neighborhood next to the 210 freeway, and more generally the city.
Data that can be drawn on:
Purpose: At the moment this archive was created to document the following topics in Azusa, CA and Azusa High School: environmental hazards; school district/city/regional/county/state/federal environemntal hazards law and policy; 210 freeway history and documentation; history of wild fires the San Gabriel Mountains and Angeles National Forest; social and environmental history of city and schools; water rights history of Azusa.
This archive is a sub-set of a larger archive and project of the San Gabriel Valley with Dr. Nadine Tanio focused on the above issues within the larger geographic area.
As the archive will grow over the next year of research, I expect this to happen quickly.
At the moment, Tanio and Hernandez curate this archive.
Contributions have mostly come from them; when material is not their's it is noted.
In the next year, the number of contributors to this archive/exhibit is expected to increase.
