|| About the Collection ||
A very important archive of 20th-century American music belonging to Oliver Daniel (1911-1990). The collection contains large files of composer correspondence with Daniel while he was vice-president of Broadcast Music Incorporated. Daniel was also the author of an important book on Leopold Stokowski. The photographic material is particularly rich and broad in scope.
