The Walter Kaufmann Collection contains materials of composer, conductor, musicologist, and professor at Indiana University, Walter Kaufmann (1907-1984). The collection consists of original manuscripts (scores and parts), as well as copies of manuscripts, working drafts and sketches, published editions, and reel-to-reel sound recordings of Kaufmann's compositions. Materials also include notes and drafts of lectures, articles, and books written by Kaufmann, as well as some of his writings in published form. Other materials include lecture papers by students, correspondence, concert programs and reviews, photographs, and monographs about the musics of Asia that were the subjects of much of his research.
