Schwarzman Building, the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.
The New York Public Library (NYPL or “the Library”) requests $50,000 to convene a planning team of NYPL staff and external advisors to create a Collection Storage Master Plan. Designed to move the Library toward a more efficient and sustainable model for institutional preservation planning, The Collections Storage Master Plan will include a unified assessment of all NYPL storage locations, focusing on the Library’s three research centers: the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. The project will characterize and quantify materials stored on-site, identify the most suitable spaces for storage, and indicate the types and intensity of subsequent analysis and investment required to optimize these areas for collection storage. |
