BOX 626, 642, 702-731 MAPCASE FOLDERS 1-9 Subject Files, 1859-2001 (bulk 1974-1989)
Clippings, correspondence, photographs, programs, and writings collected by Smith and his wife, Helen Rowe Smith, containing information on other musicians, concert and military bands, and arts organizations. There is significant material on the bandleaders Edwin Franko Goldman, Merle Evans, and John Philip Sousa, as well as Smith's early teachers Mayhew Lake and Ernest S. Williams. The two largest sections are on the Detroit Concert Band and Smith himself. Files about the Detroit Concert Band include programs, photographs, correspondence, funding strategies, and documentation on the band's major undertakings such as recording the "Gems of the Concert Band" series. Much of the written material was created by Helen Rowe Smith in her capacity as the ensemble's publicity manager. The files regarding Smith include early photographs, programs, and clippings of his career before the Detroit Concert Band as well as several files of unpublished writings.
Arranged alphabetically by person or organization.
