Schwab, Arnold T. Arnold T. Schwab collection, 1876-1988 (bulk 1929-1955).

Title: Arnold T. Schwab collection, 1876-1988 (bulk 1929-1955).

The Arnold T. Schwab Collection is an archive of materials related to the life and work of Marian Nevins MacDowell, wife of composer Edward MacDowell (1860-1908) and founder of the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, New Hampshire. Schwab collected these materials in preparation for a biography of Marian Nevins MacDowell, a work that was never completed. Included in the collection is a large cache of MacDowell-related correspondence: letters, mostly photocopies, to and from Edward MacDowell, letters, mostly photocopies, to and from Marian Nevins MacDowell, and others assembled from a variety of sources. In the Arnold T. Schwab series of correspondence there are copies of Schwab's letters to various friends and acquaintances of the MacDowells and MacDowell Colonists along with the responses. Some notable correspondents include: Carl Carmer, Aaron Copland, Mabel Daniels, Marjorie Chandler Hazard, George Kendall, Nina Maud Richardson, Cecil Smith, Conrad Spohnholz, Louise Talma and many others. A large group of index cards organized by various subjects and, apparently, gleaned from the above described correspondence, capsulize various aspects of Schwab's research. In addition to photographs of the MacDowells and some of their acquaintances, there are a group of scrapbooks, assembled by Schwab and organized by date.

Topics include rhododendron growing advice; exchange of plant material; nursery orders; articles; talks; activities of the Potomac Valley Chapter; and special projects including research for chapters in "Hybrids and hybridizers," the Nearing Study Group active in locating and propagating plants introduced by Guy Nearing, a project to rate rhododendron performance in severe heat and cold, and a "good doer" survey of best growing varieties in each area of the country.

There are files from the Gable Study Group to list Gable azaleas and rhododendrons, efforts to collect correspondence and biographical material re Gable, his contributions and colleagues, particularly Guy Nearing, and Henry and Maletta Yates; notebooks of research material on him; and four of Gable's own notebooks on rhododendrons.
