Processing Information

Preliminary processing completed prior to 2010. Final processing and finding aid completed by Sasha Ross and Erin Dix, 2012. Many unbound programs from roughly 1930 to 1955 were removed from albums in which they had been stapled or pasted.

Processing Information In August 2025, 14 record center cartons of programs dating from the 1930s to 2025 were transferred to the Archives from the Conservatory of Music (Acc. 2025-020). Processing and finding aid revisions were completed by Hannah Hacker-Snyder, 2026. The majority of the programs, both unbound and bound, were dupicates. In earlier decades, the unbound copy in the original collection was switched out with a better copy in Acc. 2025-020, as well as the addition of some missing programs. There were also small additions made in the early 1990s that were not included in the original collection. The rest of Acc. 2025-020 was discarded.
