Hi All,

I worked with colleagues from NYPL, Carnegie Hall, the Museum of the City of New York on this Google Culture exhibit which has just launched:

https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/beta/project/west-side-story

There's about 1300 images of West Side Story from NYPL's collections in there (many of which have never been seen by anyone other than the photographers). I also conducted a couple of video interviews with original cast members, photographer Carol Rosegg (who worked with Martha Swope), and Liza Gennaro (Peter Gennaro's daughter).

Also, thanks to Mark Horowitz for his assistance in obtaining and including several of the Library of Congress images he included in his fantastic exhibit for the 50th anniversary. The online version can still be viewed here

Enjoy!
