The history of music at the University at Buffalo is documented through several archival collections, including programs and clippings generated by Music Department events, audio recordings of concerts and lectures dating back to 1956, and personal archival collections of several music faculty members. Visual documentation includes extensive collections of photographs of local events as well as a large collection of flyers and posters.
Scores owned by percussionist and conductor, Jan Williams. The majority of the scores were marked by Williams for use in performance. Some scores bear inscriptions from composers to Williams.
