    Scope and Content

    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.
