About the Glaser Archives:
The Milton Glaser Design Study Center and Archives, which opened in 2006, is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and making accessible design works of significant historical and artistic value. The founding gift was from designer and illustrator Milton Glaser, an instructor and board member at SVA since 1961. It currently holds work by world-class designers Milton Glaser, Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar, and Henry Wolf, as well as adman Ed McCabe.
