New York Times Morgue to Move

| | Comments (0)
As The New York Times relocates to its new location on Eighth Avenue, the Times' morgue will also move - to the basement of the former New York Herald Tribune headquarters on West 41st Street.

From The New York Observer's recent article:

"The morgue was born in the early 1900’s, when clerks began clipping the various editions of each day's Times along with the city’s other daily newspapers and important magazines. Images were preserved in the picture library, originally part of the art department, which joined the clippings down in the basement."
