Harold Rome Collection

|| About the Collection ||

Composer and lyricist Harold Rome (1908-1993) came to prominence in 1937 with his revue, “Pins and Needles”; his 1962 musical “I Can Get It for You Wholesale” provided the Broadway debut of Barbra Streisand. Both of these shows are represented in the Library's Rome Collection. Also included is a small collection of correspondence with prominent composers and writers.
