About This Project

Summary

For over two decades, The New York Historical built an exceptional teacher-facing curriculum tied to its exhibitions — from slavery in New York to the first Jewish Americans in the country. But each collection lived on its own with no shared way in. Grow designed a new Curriculum Library unifying 20 years of scattered work into one consistent, plug-and-play architecture teachers can browse — with the design treatment the collection deserves.

Goals & Objectives

Unify two decades of scattered microsites and PDFs too static to keep current into a single Curriculum Library — built for how teachers browse, borrow, and adapt materials, and how curators and funders need to showcase them. The goal: make 20 years of work finally speak for itself.

Results & Impact

Grow established a consistent architecture across The New York Historical's curriculum collection, replacing 20 years of disconnected microsites with one discoverable, plug-and-play library — giving teachers an intuitive way to find materials, and the collection the design treatment it deserves.
