Why an Archive?

This is not meant to be a stuffy, traditional archive! It is a platform that grows through public participation. As an open resource, the Narcotic City Archive aims to preserve, collect, and provide access to materials that often disappear, or remain taboo or undervalued.

What do you think should be preserved and remembered? What stories need to be told?

Who we are

The Narcotic City Archive was started by members of Governing the Narcotic City, a project funded as part of the EU's HERA Joint Research Programme. The project initiated collaboration between six teams from different European research institutions, along with a range of nonprofit organizations who have been working for decades in the fields of drug activism, policy debate, and living history. This collaboration forms the foundation of the Narcotic City Archive, and our hope is that it will grow from here.
