Music at Amherst College Collection, 1833-[ongoing] (bulk 1890-1965).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/51675360

The Music at Amherst Collection consists of many types of materials: music (both printed and manuscript), photographs, printed material, personal correspondence and documentation, sound recordings, books, scrapbooks, some memorabilia, and a wealth of concert programs. Although there are gaps, the collection is relatively thorough in its coverage of the College's musical life during the periods 1880-1925 and 1965-1975, with coverage of the growth and history of the Glee Club being especially detailed. Overall, the music collection provides a unique perspective on the College, one that well documents the social, religious, and political atmosphere of the community.
