The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts will receive a collection of some 1,000 recordings that preserve the 17-year history of performances produced by fellow Lincoln Center constituent Jazz at Lincoln Center. The recordings will be available for listening by the general public in the Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound at the Library's Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center at Lincoln Center. The collection is being given to the Library by Jazz at Lincoln Center and preserves hundreds of the original concerts it has produced at Lincoln Center and performed on tour since its origins in 1987
