Elizabeth Cowling Musical Score and Personal Papers Collection, 1937-1987

Dr. Cowling donated her music collection to Jackson Library in 1976 and 1977 and her collection of books in 1988. The standard cello repertoire is represented by more than 1000 publications and copies of manuscript music, including significant holdings of "teaching composers". The collection also features a large number of copies of manuscripts of seventeenth to nineteenth century Italian composers, collected in preparation for her 1967 dissertation, "The Italian Sonata Literature for the Violoncello in the Baroque Era."
