IPAM maintains files devoted to many thousands of concert pianists. Those listed below are represented by unique, extensive individual collections donated by the pianists themselves or by their families, descendants and/or pupils. Finding Aids for most of these collections are available on request.
The International Piano Archives at Maryland seeks to strengthen its already extraordinary collections and to enhance the services which are so important to scholars and friends. We are committed to:
Acquiring historic and current piano recordings, collections of pianists' papers, and other related materials.
Ensuring the protection of these rare and unique resources, actively working in the vanguard of research in special methods of preservation.
Making these materials accessible and providing a variety of reference services and professional assistance.
Pursuing an active publications program based on materials in the collection, including recordings, books, catalogs, and a newsletter.
