2nd Avenue Online is a multimedia Yiddish theater digital archive established to preserve the history of the Yiddish stage of yesterday, and to bring together a new audience for its present and future. The project is named after Maurice Schwartz’s Yiddish Art Theater on Second Avenue and 12th Street, the longest running repertory theater in New York City’s history. The archive contains histories of the the Yiddish theater, oral histories, scripts in Yiddish and English, photographs, video clips and music. This collection is based on prototype created by NYU’s Center for Advanced Technology.
