Related Material
The preeminent body of primary source materials for the study of the life and work of the Gershwins is found in the Library's George and Ira Gershwin Collection. The largest and most substantive additional collection is the archives of the Ira and Leonore Gershwin Trusts, transferred to the Music Division in 2013 and consisting of scores, scripts, correspondence, business papers, photographs, programs, and other documents. The Ira Gershwin Files from the Law Office of Leonard Saxe relate primarily to Ira's personal legal affairs and the activities of the Rose Gershwin Testamentary Trust from 1948 to 1968. Other collections containing related material are the Ferde Grofé Collection (which contains materials for Rhapsody in Blue, including Grofé's holograph score for his original jazz band scoring), Serge Koussevitzky Archive, Moldenhauer Archives at the Library of Congress, Rose Marie Grentzer and Harold Spivacke Fund Collection, Vernon Duke Collection, and the Danny Kaye and Sylvia Fine Collection.
