Custodial History
Nikolai Lopatnikoff signed a deposit agreement with the Library of Congress in 1967, and subsequently converted his music manuscripts to gifts in 1967 and 1968. The bulk of the Lopatnikoff Collection came to the Library in 1977, the year following the composer's death, and in 1981 through a gift from his widow, Sara Henderson Hay Lopatnikoff. Brief inventories of the music materials were prepared at the time of acquisition.
