Edward and Marian MacDowell collection, 1861-1960 (bulk 1900-1956)
The materials of the Edward and Marian MacDowell Collection are organized in three distinct but interrelated categories: the papers of Edward A. MacDowell, the papers of Marian Nevins MacDowell, and the records of the MacDowell Colony. The assembled materials cover a period of more than 100 years but are most concentrated in two areas: holograph manuscripts and first editions of the music of Edward MacDowell, and Marian MacDowell's correspondence, most of which dates from the early 1900's until her death in 1956. Noteworthy correspondents include Teresa Carreño, Hamlin Garland, John Knowles Paine, Upton Sinclair, Elinor Wylie, Templeton Strong, William Rose, Elinor Benét, Leonard Bernstein, Dudley Buck, Willa Cather, Aaron Copland, Olin Downes, Edwin Arlington Robinson, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Thornton Wilder, Nina Maud Richardson, and publishers Breitkopf & Härtel and A.P. Schmidt. Also included are biographical writings by Anna Baetz, MacDowell's nurse, and Anna Nevins, sister of Marian MacDowell
