Coral, Lenore.

Music librarian, musicologist.

Lenore Coral received a B.A. in Music and an M.A. in Library Science from the University of Chicago, and a Ph.D. in Musicology from King's College, University of London in 1974, under the direction of Thurston Dart. She became the founding librarian of the Fine Arts collection at the University of California at Irvine in 1967, then served as music librarian at the University of Wisconsin and, from 1982, as music librarian and adjunct professor of music at Cornell until her death in 2005. She was the pre-eminent expert on British auction and sale catalogues, the subject of her dissertation; the book British Book Sale Catalogues, 1676-1800: A Union List, which she wrote in collaboration with A.N.L. Munby, remains the standard reference in the field.
