Moldenhauer Archives, Music manuscript collection at Library of Congress, United States
The Moldenhauer Archives contain 3,500 original manuscripts, letters, and documents spanning Western music from medieval times through the twentieth century.
Hans Moldenhauer established this collection in 1982 and donated it to the Library of Congress before his death in 1987.
The collection includes original works from composers like Bach, Bartók, Beethoven, Brahms, Mahler, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Schubert, Schoenberg, and Webern.
Researchers can access the complete inventory through an electronic version that replaced the printed edition of the Rosaleen Moldenhauer Memorial guide.
