New Mexico Composers' Archive
The New Mexico Composers' Archive was initiated in 1973 by Dr. John Harvey, then the Dean of Libraries at the University of New Mexico, as an effort to collect primary source materials for the active research faculty and graduate students in the Department of Music. The archive’s mission was to acquire original materials from composers who have had important connections with the University or the State of New Mexico, and who have contributed significantly to our culture. The archive was accumulated with the expectation that future generations will be able to learn something of composition in “our" time and perhaps gain a better understanding of composition in their own time.
The New Mexico Composers Archive contains original and published music manuscripts, as well as programs and sound recordings of performances. Also included are articles and newspaper clippings, photographs, typed and handwritten notes, and correspondence, as well as documents used by organizations in the New Mexico music and arts community. Significant contributors include Joseph W. Grant, Elliott Higgins, Scott Lakin Jones, Ramon Noble, William E. Rhoads, Alan Stringer, Isabelle Weimer, Scott Wilkinson, and Michael Mauldin.
Please see the finding aid for nondigitized materials in this collection, located at the Rocky Mountain Online Archive.
