We launched the Keeping Collections project to ensure the sustainability and accessibility of New York State’s archival collections as part of the New York State Archives Documentary Heritage Program. Keeping Collections provides a variety of free and affordable services to any not-for-profit organization in the metropolitan New York area that collects, maintains, and provides access to archival materials.

Working in conjunction with AudioVisual Preservation Solutions and the Archivists Round Table of Metropolitan New York, Keeping Collections works to improve the collection, preservation, and availability of records of historical importance, including those of New York’s under-documented communities.

More Podcast, Less Process was a podcast featuring interviews with archivists, librarians, preservationists, technologists, and information professionals about interesting work and projects within and involving archives, special collections, and cultural heritage. Topics include appraisal and acquisition, arrangement and description, reference, outreach and education, collection management, physical and digital preservation, and infrastructure technology.
