The Urban Archaeology Corps is a United States National Park Service (NPS) work program that invites youth to reflect on archaeological stewardship through digital media. Youth from communities surrounding urban national parks engage in interdisciplinary research, then create short digital movies and video diaries about their experiences. Emphasis is placed on connecting untold stories with the youth and local people. This paper is a case study in building capacity in youth programs for co-created archaeology work experiences and digital products that enable the NPS and the communities it serves to share in archaeological stewardship.

El Urban Archaeology Corps es un programa de trabajo del National Park Service (NPS) de los Estados Unidos que invita a los jóvenes a reflexionar sobre la administración arqueológica a través de medios digitales. Los jóvenes de las comunidades alrededor de los parques urbanos nacionales participan en la investigación interdisciplinaria, quienes luego crean cortometrajes digitales y diarios acerca de sus experiencias en formato de video. Se hace énfasis en conectar a los jóvenes y a la población con las historias locales que no se han contado. Este trabajo es un estudio de caso sobre la capacidad de estos programas juveniles para crear en colaboración las experiencias del trabajo arqueológico y los productos digitales, lo que permite al NSP servir a sus comunidades, compartiendo la administración arqueológica.
