The NYP has begun to digital archive with 300,000 pages from the Leonard Bernstein years, from 1943 to 1970 added just this Thursday.
Soon to include more than 1,000 conducting scores.
By 2012, 1.3 million pages from the Bernstein years will be online. They will be followed by documents from 1842, the year the Philharmonic was founded, to 1908, and from 1909 to 1943. An enormous undertaking but a highly worthwhile and well overdue task. What a joy to have this work online at a click for music lovers scholars and historians alike.
The digital archive is paid for by a $2.4 million grant from the Leon Levy Foundation.
