It should be made clear that the papers contained in this subseries are not those of the corporate entity, rather they belonged to Olga Koussevitzky in her role as president of the Koussevitzky Music Foundation. They span from the creation of the foundation to Olga's death in 1978. The papers are divided into five subseries. The Administrative Materials subseries contains papers relating to the creation of the foundation, its daily operation, and administration of its goals and objectives. Materials by and about composers who received commissions or who were being considered for them are found in the Composers/Artists subseries which also contains items relating to a few other individuals in the performing arts fields. The Subject Files subseries includes materials related to organizations, individuals, and topics that were associated with the foundation. The Financial Papers subseries contains KMF financial and legal materials. The Miscellaneous Correspondence subseries contains inquiries mostly from organizations regarding the foundation. The Scrapbooks contain clippings, programs and promotional materials documenting the activities of the KMF.
