Fall 2022 Project
DETROIT HISTORICAL CONSERVATION

Picture
LTU's AIAS Freedom by Design™ will resume helping the Detroit Sound Conservancy to document, digitize, and renovate the historical Bluebird Inn!

The Detroit Sound Conservancy is an organization which seeks to preserve and catalog artifacts, places, and information pertaining to Detroit's rich musical history. 

The Bluebird Inn is recognized as a local Historic District by the City of Detroit. For much of the 1900s, it was one of the most important musical hotspots in the city.

Students will gain valuable knowledge about Detroit's history, conservation efforts within the city, and work with cutting-edge tech.
