Re-imagining the Archive is a Studio Report from the Spring 2025 semester at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design based on the open project of the same name, taught by Eric Rodenbeck.

Working in collaboration with prominent institutions, the Open Project engaged students in the process and practice of designing and developing data visualizations of their archival holdings.
