In 2013, the Boston Symphony Orchestra embarked on an ambitious project to provide online access to over 133 years of performance data for the BSO, partial performance histories for the Boston Pops and the Tanglewood Music Center, and over 100 years of digitized BSO program books.

Funded by the NEH and the Sloan Foundation, HENRY (named after BSO founder Henry Lee Higginson) was developed so that other organizations could leverage the source code to produce similar online databases. 

Learn why the BSO sought to undertake this project, how the partners and funding came together to make it happen, what they have learned in the process, and how your organization can take advantage of this unique opportunity to build on work already completed by the BSO.
