Cataloging of Time Inc. Archives Will Take 5 Years

New York Historical Society gets the gift of "the 20th century in a box."

Here’s how it’s going to flow. From Time Inc.’s soon-to-be fully vacated Time and Life building headquarters, the company’s archives are being shipped to a warehouse in Putnam County, N.Y. From there, the materials will gradually be redirected, box by box, to the New York Historical Society on Central Park West. To be sorted through, cataloged and selectively exhibited.

It’s a donation process that will take five years and is being funded by a $2 million grant from the Henry Luce Foundation.
