East Palo Alto Community Archive
A web platform to explore, contribute to, and support a community-led archive: collections, events, local voices, and bilingual resources.
The project
The East Palo Alto Community Archive (EPACA) is a community-led initiative to collect, share, celebrate, and preserve the unique history of East Palo Alto. The site connects catalog exploration, submissions, donations, and community event storytelling.
My contribution
Idris Aguero / Idea2Form produced the Figma wireframes. My job was to code the site: turn that design into a live experience faithful to Figma — clear archive exploration flows, editorial hierarchy (news, events, collections), and careful implementation with accessibility and the project’s cultural mission in mind.
Visible outcomes
- Discovery-led home: explore, contribute, and support the archive
- Sections for updates, events, and community voices
- Resources such as Small But Mighty and Ohlone land acknowledgment
- Link to the live catalog at
catalog.epacommunityarchive.org
