Koch (Yale School of Drama, 1961 MFAD), principally through purchases at public auctions, from 1979-1986.

Most materials are music manuscripts, literary manuscripts, drawings, and correspondence of European, English, and American composers, authors, and artists. Also present are historical manuscripts, photographs, albums, and other papers.
