Project Algerine

Project Algerine is a quirky and informative documentary-style TV series unearthing the incredible history of Erie, Pennsylvania. 

Project Algerine's importance lies in its focus on local history. By documenting and sharing Erie's unique stories, they create a powerful link between residents and their neighborhoods. Their videos and shows bring the city's past to life, making history accessible and engaging for a broad audience.
