This collection consists of an index of publications that reference The New York School of Art (which became Parsons School of Design in 1941) or artists associated with it as students or faculty from the time of the school's founding in 1896 to 1912. The index was assembled by New School Archives staff between 1996 and 2006.

This ongoing oral history program documents the lives and work of designers, artists, and others active in the fields of art and design. Interviewees include Parsons School of Design alumni, faculty, and professionals without a direct Parsons connection.
