NYPL Visit

Since it was my first time visiting the New York Public Library For the Performing Arts, I was completely amazed at the amount of data that has been stored in their system/ library. I had this nostalgic type of feeling when Doug showed us the floppy disk. It was really interesting to see the history of a production being edited. Though Doug’s presentation, I’ve realized how amazing an archive could be. It also made me realized the amount of effort and time that these historians/librarians took to attain the data they have collected up to now. Because of this experience I’ve become more aware of how to use an archive, and it has given me insight on my topic.
