Detroit History Project Community Questionnaire

The Detroit City Council Historic Designation Advisory Board (HDAB) needs YOUR help recording Detroit’s diverse history!


We want to hear more about you and your family’s (parents, grandparents, friends, etc.) cultural history and how it has impacted Detroit. We will use your responses to collect Detroit histories, help us research further underrepresented communities, and identify historic places important to different cultural communities.


If you have any questions, or encounter problems with this form, please call us at (313) 224-3487, or email historic@detroitmi.gov.
