|| About the Collection ||
The materials in the Spivacke Fund (Rose Marie and Harold Spivacke) Collection have been purchased through an endowment fund established by Mrs. Harold Spivacke in 1982 based on the wishes of her husband, who was chief of the Library of Congress Music Division from 1937 to 1972. The purpose of the fund is to assist the Library in expanding the collections in the Music Division. The Spivacke Fund includes autograph music manuscripts and correspondence of a number of important figures, among them: Albano Berg, Johannes Brahms, Hans Heinsheimer, Victor Herbert, and Franz Liszt. In addtion, a major purchase partially funded by the Spivacke Fund has been the Charles Mingus Collection.
