Processing History
Musicologist Warren Kirkendale inventoried the supplemental materials in the mid-1960s. Wilda Heiss began processing and coordinating preservation treatments for materials in the collection in the early to mid-1990s. Susan Clermont and Jungeun Elle Kim created a detailed inventory in 2012 based exclusively on the catalog compiled by Maia Bang Hohn and added information about the iconography. Jane Cross completed processing in 2021. Cross, Melissa Capozio Jones, and Rachel McNellis coded the finding aid in 2021, based largely on the 2012 inventory. Cross added three newly-purchased items in 2024.
