Duration
24 months
Description
Since it opened in 1891, Carnegie Hall has hosted more than 52,000 events featuring a myriad of performers, ranging from Louis Armstrong to Ella Fitzgerald, Joan Baez, Judy Garland, Isaac Stern, Yo-Yo Ma, and Jay-Z. To preserve its legacy for future generations, in 1986 Carnegie Hall established a permanent repository for its historically significant records. However, many of Carnegie Hall’s archival materials—including photographs, program books, flyers, posters, correspondence, and recordings—are available only on paper or in outdated media formats. In 2012, the Corporation awarded a $1,000,000 grant to enable Carnegie Hall to preserve and digitize its rich and varied archives through the year 1967, and make them available online to both scholars and the general public. With renewed support from the Corporation, Carnegie Hall will organize, conserve, digitize, store, and make available to the public its collections from 1967-1986.
