As the Cultivating Archives and Institutional Memory team surveys more and more archives across the CUNY system, we collect data regarding the size of the individual archive’s collections. Our collated data is periodically updated as we complete survey sites to provide us with an understanding of the work remaining, as well as to track our progress. This page is a good place to check out the work we’ve done so far!
