The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts has acquired the archive of Thomas Meehan, an American librettist. The archive, dating from the 1960s to 2017, contains drafts for his major theater work, as well as notes, programs, press clippings, agreements, and audio and video recordings

Meehan, who died in 2017, received the Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical three times: in 1977 for Annie, 2001 for The Producers, and 2003 for Hairspray. He remains the only librettist with three Broadway shows whose original productions ran for more than 2,000 performances. His other credits include Young Frankenstein, Cry-Baby, Elf, I Remember Mama, Annie Warbucks, Bombay Dreams, Death Takes a Holiday and Rocky the Musical, among others.
