THE WASHINGTON CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC RECORDS Collection 112-1 to 112-63 Prepared & Revised by: Wilda D. Logan January 1981 Scope Note The records of the Washington Conservatory of Music span 26 linear feet and cover the period 1887 to 1966. The records were acquired through Mrs. Geneva Turner, President of the Board of Trustees, of the Washington Conservatory of Music, in two deposits, one in 1960 and another in This historic music education institution was founded in 1903 by Harriet Gibbs Marshall in Washington, D.C. The Conservatory was a privately owned institution, operated solely by black musicians and equipped to offer to black students a conservatory approach to music. The personal data on the founder include her correspon- dence, biographical data, financial and legal papers. Her personal manuscripts include incomplete drafts of her work, "Last Concerto," a drama based in the life of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. (see scrapbook No. 4 for more details on "Last Concerto"). The collection also includes biographical information on her husband Capt. (U.S. Army) Napoleon B. Marshall who served as a clerk of the American Legation in Haiti to

- 2 - promote American-Haitian relations. Correspondence, in this series, is written in English and French and the correspon- dents are prominent American and Haitian officials. In 1930, Mrs. Marshall published, The Story, of Haiti. The book gives a brief history of Haiti, "from the discovery of the island by Christopher Columbus to the present day." Reviews, commendations and publisher's records give insight on the impact of its text. Correspondence, a manuscript on Haitian women, information on the Save Haiti League and the Jean Joseph Industrial School conclude this Haitian series. The archival records of the Washington Conservatory of Music include organizational history, administrative records, correspondence, student records, veterans' records, teachers' records, financial records, student cards, biographical material on black musicians, scrapbooks, photographs, periodi- cals, programs, clippings and artifacts, mostly dealing with the daily school operational and educational proceeding. The correspondents represented are diverse, there are prominent Black musicians such as W. C. Handy, Nathaniel Dett, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Maude Cuney-Hare, William Grant Still, and Warner Lawson. Black intellectuals such as W. E. B. Du Bois, Shirley Graham (Du Bois), Arthur Schomberg, Walter S. White, Carter G. Woodson, J. R. E. Lee and Alain Locke are included. Public figures such as Oscar DePriest.

- 3 - Theodore Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, Hamilton Fish, Campbell C. Johnson, Robert C. Weaver, George Peabody, Mary White Ovington are also included throughout the various correspondence series. The Washington Conservatory of Music expanded to include drama and speech and later extended the official title to Washington Conservatory of Music and School of Expression. Mrs. Marshall also founded the National Negro Music Center in 1937 as a part of the Conservatory. The purpose of the Center was to aid in research and preservation of the music of black heritage, to develop a library of Negro music, present concerts and to prepare books for use in public schools on black music. The records reveal the strain on financial support for this department. Highlights of the records are the biographical informa- tion on black musicians and an extension sheet music collec- tion. The sheet music collection has been transferred and incorporated into the Moorland Spingarn Research Center's Music Collection. The doors of the conservatory were closed in 1960 after it was decided its need for existence had been compensated by other outstanding musical institutions. For more infor- mation on the historical development of the conservatory, musical development in Washington, D.C. and source of some
