Media_httpfarm4static_jrtbx
The New York Public Library Archives was established in the mid-1980s to collect, preserve and make accessible historical records that document The Library and its predecessor institutions. Archives holdings date chiefly from the 19th and early 20th centuries, and include early records of NYPL Branch Libraries and Research Libraries, as well those of the Astor Library, Lenox Library, Tilden Trust and New York Free Circulating Library. The Archives also houses an extensive collection of historical images of NYPL buildings, collections and programs.
