Description
The collection includes administrative and financial records, program-related materials, scores, and recordings spanning the
12 years from 1985 (the year of the ensemble's founding) to 1997. The organization's filing system has remained intact through
the processing of this archive, with the following exception: like materials have been grouped together under loose subject
headings as series; individual file folders have, when unlabelled, been labeled as to their general contents; and folders
have been alphabetized within their series for ease in finding. All materials received from Earplay are otherwise intact.
