Happy American Archives Month!
Here’s a behind-the-scenes peek at the work we do in the archives!
We have two floors of vault storage. Here's a peak at the 4th floor vault. Our building and the shelf graphics by Vignelli.
We spend a lot of time rehousing the Vignelli collection in archival boxes. Boxes of boxes arrive on multiple pallets!
Then we get to work reboxing and organizing the artifacts to help preserve them and make them accessible to researchers.
And slowly the stacks transform from old boxes to new boxes!
We also have two sizes of flat files to store posters and other “oversize” plans.
