The New York Philharmonic has recently launched the Archive portion of their website. This is an ambitious project that will benefit us musicians greatly.

Current content:

1.3 million pages of archives, including scans of printed programs and Bernstein’s scores with notes.
Performance History – a complete list of all New York Philharmonic performances, searchable by date, composer, etc.

Future content:

Nineteenth Century Collection
Scores and Parts (digital scans of original scores -including original Mahler works- that are public domain)
Press Clippings
Visual Collections – over 27,000 photos
Live Performance Recordings
Working Files of the Philharmonic
Programs – Complete set of programs from 1842 to present

This is an amazing and ambitious project. I look forward to seeing how this progresses.
