When we sift through black-and-whites of Grandma and Pop-Pop, we're not looking for our ancestors so much as ourselves, in their hook noses and freckled dimples and pierogi bellies. Same goes for Temple's Urban Archives, a collection of 300 manuscripts, 5 million prints and negatives, and TV clips all about our shared relative: Philadelphia. You should Facebook the Urban Archives ASAP; after you're hooked, fill up at "Sound and Vision," an I-House screening of the Temple affiliate's unaired broadcasts, local documentaries and photographs of the city — providing an eye into everything from the original Electric Factory to Bowie prancing about the Vet. Hey, maybe you'll scout an ancestor or two in the crowd.
