Grentzer, Rose Marie. Spivacke fund (Rose Marie and Harold Spivacke) collection, 1993-1998.

Title: Spivacke fund (Rose Marie and Harold Spivacke) collection, 1993-1998.

The materials in the Spivacke fund (Rose Marie and Harold Spivacke) collection have been purchased through an endowment fund established by Mrs. Harold Spivacke in 1982 based on the wishes of her husband, who was the chief of the Music Division at the Library of Congress from 1937-1972. The purpose of the fund is to assist the Library in adding to and increasing the collections in the Music Division. The purchases primarily focus on holograph music manuscripts, printed music, and autograph correspondence which enhance the existing collections. All purchases of manuscript and printed music are fully catalogued separately. The correspondence with any accompanying material and photographs, however, is not separately catalogued. The finding aid summarizes all purchases both catalogued and un-catalogued --- a minimum amount of description for the catalogued music and an itemized listing of the correspondence and other materials. This guide includes certain sections normally associated with a finding aid, such as a Biographical Sketch, a Scope and Content Note, or a Series Description. A major purchase made partially through The Spivacke Fund from 1992 to 1995 has been the Charles Mingus Collection. This collection is housed as a separate collection apart from the other purchases made through the fund. The guide and bibliographic record for the Mingus Collection indicates that the collection comprises part of The Spivacke Fund Collection. In 1998, a collection of letters and papers that had been in the hands of Hans Heinsheimer, noted American publisher and writer on music, were purchased from Lion Heart Autographs, Inc., New York City. The 75 items are housed together and identified on the folders as the Hans Heinsheimer Collection; however, the items are not identified in the finding aid under this collection name. Instead, the items have been listed under the prominent name on the correspondence or other papers and filed alphabetically among the names of other prominent musicians/authors from previous purchases. The Spivacke Fund Collection is separate and distinct from the personal papers of Harold Spivacke which are housed as the Harold Spivacke Collection in the Music Division.
