What special resources offer students an enriched experience?
The program takes full advantage of the outstanding archival and public history institutions and resources throughout the New York metropolitan area. Students intern at diverse and vibrant external venues, ranging from the Tenement House Museum to the Brooklyn Historical Society to City Lore/Place Matters to Rolling Stone magazine, In addition, NYU’s Bobst Library contains nationally significant archival and manuscript collections, including: the Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives; the Tamiment Library collections concerning radicalism and Leftist movements; and the Fales Library’s innovative “Downtown Collection” that documents late-twentieth-century avant garde artists, musicians, and performing artists in New York City. Bobst has also emerged as a national leader in digital curatorship, and students have the opportunity to engage fully with new media.
