On June 9, 2009, the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) approved a two-year detailed processing grant. For the project, entitled "Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the First Fifty Years," the archives will arrange, describe, digitize, and make accessible five archives collections: the Hilla Rebay records, the James Johnson Sweeney records, the Thomas M. Messer records, Exhibition records, and the Reel to Reel collection.

Every week, the project staff will highlight a finding, an object of interest found in the collections. More
