As one of the largest municipal archival collections in North America, we strive to fulfill our mission to broaden access and insure preservation of New York City's historical assets.
The Archives, Reference and Research Advisory Board, is pleased to present this annual report for 2021. Mandated by the New York City Charter, Chapter 72, Section 3009, our board appointed by the Mayor to advise the Commissioner on matters and report annually to the Mayor.
Spotlight on: Municipal Library Notes - November Archives Transcription Project. The first type of transcription project involves legacy collection inventories originally written by hand or typed, that had never made it off the paper and into an electronic, searchable format.
