ARCHIVES

The Musical America archives are paradise to any music lover or student of music history, with original copies of the newspapers, magazines, and directories from 1905 on, several copies of Music and Drama, and thousands of priceless photographs. The music and the musicians who shaped a century of musical life in America and Europe spring vividly to life in these pages.

The Directory Article Search incorporates the titles and authors of articles that appeared in the Musical America Directory from 1961 through 1998. (Articles for the 1999 edition to the current edition may be found under the Directory Articles button on the left-hand navigation bar.) The Musician of the Year award was begun in 1960, with awards for Composer, Conductor, Instrumentalist, and Vocalist of the Year added in 1992; Ensemble of the Year in 1995. To obtain a copy of any of these articles, please consult your local music library.

The Magazine Article Search incorporates the titles and authors of articles that appeared in the Musical America Magazines from the late 1920s to 1992. This database, however, is a work in progress, and currently goes back to 1965. We will be working hard to update this database in as timely a manner as possible. To obtain a copy of any of these articles, please consult your local music library.

The Photo Archives Search, also is a work in progress. The database currently consists of a list of more well-known artists and is incomplete. Once the more well-known artists have been catalogued, we will begin to create a more complete list of all artists to be found in the Musical America Photo Archive.

For more information on an artist not included in this database or on how to Rent a Photo, please contact Stephanie Challener at info@musicalamerica.com.
