Archives[edit]
The New York Philharmonic Archives documents the history of the Philharmonic through visual and ephemeral history and printed music collections.[50] The collection dates back to the beginning of the Philharmonic's history in 1842. The Archives are sponsored by the Leon Levy Foundation and are located at Lincoln Center.
In recent years, the Archives has undertaken a digitization project to digitize all of its materials between 1943 and 1970 in a digital archive called "The International Era, 1943–1970."
