Eric Walter White fonds. -- 1826-1969; predominant 1951-1969. --

There have been three accruals. The first accrual consists of research materials White gathered for his writings on English opera. It includes letters from Ethel Smyth and correspondence of other composers, photographs and engravings. The second accrual consists mainly of an incomplete run of White's correspondence relating to his work as an arts administrator. Some correspondence concerns The Poetry Book Society Bulletin. The third accrual is a manuscript and typescript bound together. In addition to the White fonds, there is also a collection of opera books from White's library; these have been catalogued for Research Collections. There is a much larger White fonds at the University of Texas in Austin.

44 cm of textual records and graphic material.
