University.

Eleanor Hovda collection, Collection 119, Special Collections, University of Maryland,
Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD).
Finding aid available.
The collection was donated by Jeannine Wagar with assistance from Dr. Linda Dusman, and
received by Lindsey Loeper in February 2014. Additional collection materials from the
original donation were transferred from Dr. Linda Dusman in August 2014.
The collection arrived in eleven boxes and an inventory of the content of the boxes,
prepared by Dr. Linda Dusman, was received upon arrival. Scores from the collection were
digitized by I Resound Press prior to transfer to the Library. The original order of the
collection focused on both item format and alphabetization. To make the research process
easier for researchers, the decision was made to separate the print items from the
audiovisual items. The print items have been organized chronologically. Documents for
which there were more than two copies were weeded. The audio and video recordings were
separated by whether the pieces were dance works or chamber works and ordered
chronologically. Additional collection materials, which had been separated from the
original donation, were added to the collection in Fall 2014. This donation contained
two folders and one score binder. Processing was completed and finding aid written by
Jordan Hartman, May, 2014, with assistance from Archivist Lindsey Loeper and UMBC
professor Dr. Linda Dusman.

Subseries III.B. Sheet Music/Manuscripts
1970-2002
5 boxes (5.5 linear feet)
The Sheet music and manuscripts subseries includes sheet music and notes concerning Eleanor Hovda's chamber works. A number of the works referenced in this subseries are intended for both chamber ensembles and dance performances. These pieces are listed both here and in the Sheet music and manuscripts subseries II.B of the Dance series. These pieces are also marked with an asterisk (*). The items are grouped by work, and the works are sorted chronologically. There is some separation of documents due to size constraints, which has resulted in several works being pulled out of the chronological system. These pieces can be found in Boxes 11 and 12. This subseries is arranged by the work, not by chronology. The oversized pieces are listed at the bottom of the list.
