The Moldenhauer Archives at the Library of Congress online presentation was completed in two stages. The initial stage coincided with the Library of Congress’ preparation and publication of The Rosaleen Moldenhauer Memorial: Music History from Primary Sources: A Guide to the Moldenhauer Archives (2000) and involved constructing a descriptive database as well as the scanning and initial quality review of 135 items from the Moldenhauer Archives. The second stage commenced with the restructuring and maintenance of the existing file system and database and a retrospective quality review. Scanning of the remaining images in the published work completed the conversion from printed text to electronic format.
These acknowledgments primarily concern the construction of the online presentation. Acknowledgments (PDF/11 Kb) for the printed edition are included in the special presentation.
Jon Newsom, chief of the Music Division, Library of Congress, provided administrative support and subject expertise throughout the project.
The Library wishes to express special thanks to Mary Moldenhauer for all that she contributed to the completion of both The Rosaleen Moldenhauer Memorial and the online presentation.
