The Office of Library Services and its team of archivist advisors have launched an ambitious project to tell CUNY’s story through the photos, publications and other historic records held in archives across CUNY. They aim to unify archival practice across CUNY’s 31 libraries and 100 cultural centers and institutes. Three project archivists and a team of talented graduate students are engaged in a CUNY-wide archival survey, the rollout of shared systems for collection management and online access, and a variety of outreach activities beginning in 2024 and concluding in 2027. This project is funded by a $2 million grant from the Mellon Foundation.
