Title

The Leupold Archives (Archives)

Description

The Archives is a repository of organ music and organ-related items. Its collection is exclusively historical organ music, methods, and organ reference materials, especially nineteenth and early twentieth century out-of-print editions of published organ music, the largest collection of organ music and organ improvisation methods in the United States, and first editions of more prominent works in the established organ repertoire. Optimizing the cataloging process within three years will enhance worldwide accessibility to a unique collection for scholarly study, research, and cultural enrichment. The cataloging projects to be articulated are: OCLC (WorldCat); internal database catalog; and scanned publications for our website.
