Why This Matters

Every year, more of Lucerne Valley's history fades. Photos sit in shoeboxes. Stories go untold.
The people who remember are getting older. The Living Archive is a place to save all of it.
Photos, voice recordings, written stories, documents.. so nothing is forgotten.

Built for Lucerne Valley by Aydin Risler, with help from the community.
