OUR MARKET STORIES
OUR MARKET DIGITAL ARCHIVE
Be a part of the growing Our Market Open Source Digital Archive!
The Our Market Digital Archive is an open source archive for the community. The archive is intended for the community to have agency on how they want to document and tell their stories. You can share your story or your family’s story connected to the 9th Street Market. Stories of finding home, Market Love, honoring your ancestors, or growing up in the Market as a child, these are all community stories that we want to hear.
You can share your story by clicking the link below or visit our Our Market Story Cart in select locations along the Market. The Our Market Cart is inspired by the original push carts that filled the S. 9th Street Market over 100 years ago. Click below to submit your Market Story today!
