- Abstract:
- This presentation will narrate a history of Curtis’s institutional recordings, a collection that spans much of the Institute’s nearly 100-year existence. As an archive of student and faculty recitals recorded on a range of formats, the collection constitutes an audio and video history of musical training, performance practice, and recording technologies in European classical music throughout the 20th century, as well as a glimpse into wider cultural and social issues in Philadelphia and the U.S. This history will be presented in the context of professional concerns such as preservation, digitization, access, and metadata, as well as administrative concerns like budgeting, collection development policies, and the library’s relationship to the Institute as a whole.
