The Willey's.
Scope and Contents
This devised collection was originally organized to house miscellaneous music materials found during the 2000 era move. It has continued to grow with the addition of small accessions of music items either found in the collections, or received as gifts or purchases.
As with other general subject collections, growth would ideally be guided by strong collection development to acquire representative materials from all music genres and time periods, as time allows.
Currently, the collection is new and small and represents random acquisitions, with references to some music organizations consistent in the community, as well as other contemporary or emergent groups.
The Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra and the Schubert Club are examples of organizations which were originally documented in this collection and now have separate and larger collections, with materials contributed either from the organization or from interested others.
