Beyond The New School Archives, there is a wealth of digital archives on almost every topic. If you’re looking for primary sources, such as historical photographs or oral histories, these databases will likely be much more helpful than a Google search. Don’t forget, you can always contact archivist@newschool.edu for help on locating and using digital archives.
