The Martin Shwartz audio-visual collection 1927-1989

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/660156420

The Martin Shwartz Audio-Visual Collection documents musicals and related sound recordings from the late 1920s through 1989. The collection contains recordings of live performances, films, Tony Awards clips, and various interview sessions with Martin Shwartz as well as with actors and actresses. The Shwartz collection consists of a variety of theater-related audio-visual material that covers musicals, operas and soundtracks. This collection also contains press related materials, recordings of the Tony Awards and interviews with actors and actresses. It also has music produced by well known Broadway music producers. This collection was arranged by format, there are 151 cassette tapes, 109 reel-to-reel tapes (including 1 unidentified 16mm film), and 29 VHS tapes. Most items were not dated. The items are arranged by label number. The label numbers were assigned arbitrarily. There was an attempt to arrange by content; it is however, technically impossible, because each item is a collection of recordings with different topics on one reel. The content of each tape was determined by the original box list from the donor.
