Custodial History
Harvard graduate student Donald Tilton compiled these materials after receiving project funding from arts patron Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge in the early 1930s. They were subsequently distributed by Otto Kinkeldey, an American music librarian and musicologist. Kinkeldey later loaned the materials to H. Earle Johnson for his book, Musical Interludes in Boston, 1795-1830, published in 1943.
