The New York Public Library, which has over 45,000 antique menus in its Rare Books Division is looking for volunteers to help transcribe and catalogue these menus, so they can be better searched and accessed.
The menus held a wealth of data ranging from the price of a cup of coffee in 1907 to the preparation and pairing of oysters over time. If interested in volunteering, or just tracking the project’s progress, check out the New York Public Library. Hundreds of menus are already available for search.
