Founded in 1947 as an independent organization called Composers' Forum by Jane Hohfeld
and others, centered in Northern California, the group following their third season
(1949/50) became affiliated with the International Society for Contemporary Music. It is
not associated with the Composers' Forum (U.S.), which is based in New York City.

For a history of the Composers' Forum, see the statement by Jane Hohfeld Galante
(next pages). The organization of materials in this inventory (items 31 to 53) is by
calendar year, not by the concert season year. To have done otherwise would have
created much confusion. It was not possible to isolate the financial materials, because
much of the correspondence, reports, and agendas relate to the finances of the
organization.
The collection contains Music and business papers: programs, newspaper reviews,
announcements, scrapbooks, agendas of meetings, reports, membership lists, financial
statements, correspondence, etc.
