The New York Times Archival Library
The New York Times Archival Library, also known as "the morgue",New York Times (NYT) newspaper. It is located in a separate building from the main Times offices, in the basement of the former New York Herald Tribune on West 41st Street.[2]
The archive was first created as a
University of Texas as the newspaper relied on it less. The archive is now solely run by Jeff Roth, although other newspaper employees are digitizing the collections.[4]
The morgue is also where the NYT holds its advance obituaries, written in preparation for the event of someone's death.[2]
As of November 18, 2018, the images from the library are hosted on Google Cloud Platform.[5]
