History

The Library of the Institute for the Study of Women in Music was established in the Music Department by Jeannie Poole, Head of the Music Library and Professor Beverly Grigsby in 1985. The purpose of the Library was to collect the music of women composers. The Library includes the collection of books and recordings gathered by Aaron I. Cohen, editor of the International Encyclopedia of Women Composers and the Library of the International Congress on Women in Music (ICWM). When the Institute closed in the 1990s the Library was transferred to the Oviatt Library's Special Collections and Archives. The Aaron Cohen collection has been processed and cataloged separately.

Scope and Contents

The collection is devoted to the musical works of women composers both published and unpublished. While predominately printed and manuscript music scores, it also contains some biographical information and correspondence. The core collection remains the Library of the ICWM and it continues to grow with subsequent donations. Over 300 composers are represented in the collection.

Provenance

The collection was assembled from many donations through the efforts of Jeannie Pool and Professor Grigsby.

Organization

The collection is organized into two series, music scores and composer files. Series I. The music scores are arranged alphabetically by the composer's last name. Large format scores are arranged similarly in oversize (ov) boxes. The box numbering system follows the alphabetical arrangement to accommodate the continuing growth of the collection. The letter indicates the filing name (last name) and the number indicates the number of the box within that letter (e.g. Box P2 is the second box for composers with the first letter of their last name beginning with the letter P.). Series II. There are two boxes of composer files which include correspondence, photographs, and biographical information.

Abbreviations

The instrumentation and vocalization of the scores is abbreviated between brackets. Here is a list of the abbreviations: A (alto), B (bass), Bsn (bassoon), Cb (double bass), Cel, (celeste), Cl (clarinet), Fl (flute), GC (bass drum), Gtr (guitar), Hf (harp), Hn (horn), Hp (harpsichord), Org (organ), Pno (piano), S (soprano), SATB (mixed chorus), T (tenor), Tba (tuba), Tpt (trumpet), Trb (trombone), V (voice), Vc (cello), Vi (violin), Vla (viola).
