Rose Archives Policies
Collections and Acquisitions Policy
In accordance with its mission, the Carnegie Hall Susan W. Rose Archives actively seeks to identify, acquire, preserve, and make available material that is of enduring informational value and historical significance to Carnegie Hall.
The Rose Archives serves as the official and permanent repository of historical and inactive records of The Carnegie Hall Corporation. These records include (but are not limited to) correspondence, memos, minutes, financial records, contracts, reports, photographs, publications, programs, posters, audiovisual recordings, architectural drawings, and subject files; as well as documents relating to administrative bodies previously associated with it, including Carnegie Hall Incorporated and the Music Hall Company of New York, Limited.
Access Policy
The collections of the Carnegie Hall Rose Archives are open for research by appointment to all members of the Carnegie Hall staff and to the general public. The collections do not circulate and, at present, all research must be done on-site under the supervision of the Rose Archives staff. The Rose Archives has an ethical obligation to ensure the preservation of these collections, to guarantee the privacy of donors, and to protect items of a legally sensitive or confidential nature; in some cases, sensitive materials are restricted.
