JOB TITLE: Capital Campaign Manager
DEPARTMENT: Development REPORTS
TO: Senior Vice President for Development
ABOUT NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY Visitors
experience 400 years of history through groundbreaking exhibitions,
immersive films, and thought-provoking conversations among renowned
historians and public figures at the New-York Historical Society,
New York’s first museum. A great destination for history since
1804, the Museum and the Patricia D. Klingenstein Library convey
the stories of the city and nation’s diverse populations, expanding
our understanding of who we are as Americans and how we came to be.
ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN FOR THE FUTURE OF
HISTORY The New-York Historical Society and American
LGBTQ+ Museum have embarked on a capital campaign to support the
construction of an exquisite 70,000 square-foot building designed
by Robert A. M. Stern on a New-York Historical-owned adjacent lot
that currently serves as a rear courtyard. Importantly, for both
organizations, the historic partnership between New York’s first
museum and its newest one will “de-marginalize” LGBTQ+ history: the
American LGBTQ+ Museum’s prominent location in this new building
provides a powerful statement that LGBTQ+ history is integral to
American history. The building as a whole will be dedicated to
public education and learning, with stunning new public gallery
spaces as well as much-needed additional classrooms, outdoor space,
and offices, and underground stacks to safely store our expansive
Library collections and increase their accessibility.
