Abstract

The New York Philharmonic's Digital Archives made its debut with programs, scores and other documents dating from 1943-1970, the International Era, which traces Leonard Bernstein's association with the New York Philharmonic. The Philharmonic plans to digitize its entire collection of 8 million pages of documents and 7,000 hours of audio visual material, reflecting the Philharmonic's commitment to providing the broadest possible access to its collections. Before the launch of the Digital Archives, I met with the New York Philharmonic's Digital Archives Project Manager, Mitch Brodsky, to discuss this digitization project's mission and history, its open source content management systems, its metadata and the metadata's role in information retrieval, and digital asset management issues.
