Interlochen Center for the Arts records, ca.1880-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81063407

The collection consists of the records of Interlochen (1927-present) and the personal papers (ca. 1880-1966) of Joseph Maddy. The collection has been arranged into the following series: Chronological, Subject, Later Administrators, Boards, Recent Leaders, Printed, Visual Materials, Sound Recordings, and Scrapbooks. The Chronological series focuses on Maddy and the Camp until 1966, while the Subject series, though heavily relating to Maddy, also includes much on developments through 1989. The Later Administrators series begins in the late 1950s when Maddy expanded the staff in anticipation of making Interlochen a year-round institution and ends in 1989 when the last major leader from the Maddy era retired. Boards (governing bodies) starts with the Camp's founding in 1928 and ends in 1989. Recent Leaders documents developments from 1989 on. Printed offers coverage to the present but is more complete for the early years through the 1980s. While the Visual Materials and Sound Recordings series extend from the 1920s into the 1980s, they offer best coverage from 1924 to 1942. Scrapbooks, with gaps in the early years, documents both Maddy and the Camp, beginning with the National High School Orchestra and ending with the Camp's 50th anniversary celebration in 1978. The Subject series includes documentation of the dispute between Maddy and James C. Petrillo, head of the American Federation of Musicians, over the use of non-union amateur musicians in the radio broadcasts of Interlochen performances. Correspondents represented in the collection consist of individuals famed in musical performance. Included are Percy Grainger, Frederic Fennell, Ferdé Grofe, Pablo Casals, Howard Hanson, Jascha Heifitz, Paul Whiteman, Lorin Maazel, Eugene Ormandy, and Jan Sibelius. Other fields and individuals represented include music education: Peter Dykema and Will Earhart; educational broadcasting: W. W. Charters and Edgar B. Gordon; commercial broadcasting: Franklin Dunham and Judith Waller; business: S. S. Kresge and the Alden and Herbert Dow family; and politics: Wilber Brucker, Samuel Insull, and Arthur Vandenberg.
