Levy Foundation Helps Archives to Go Online

The Leon Levy Foundation has awarded nearly two dozen organizations grants to identify, preserve and digitize their archival collections and to make them available online to scholars and to the public. The foundation's archives and catalogs program has awarded more than $10.3 million since 2007. Most of the recipients have been New York City cultural institutions. The foundation has also convened archivists from various institutions to share information on what scholars and the public demand most and how much of their collections to digitize.
