The collection was established in the mid-19th century under [[Gustave J. Stoeckel]], and was expanded by the acquisition of [[Lowell Mason]]'s papers and library in 1873.<ref name="ELIS">{{cite encyclopedia |year=1982 |encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science |volume=33 |editor1-last=Kent |editor1-first=Allen |editor2-last=Daily |editor2-first=Jay E. |edition=1st |pages=267–365}}</ref> Its collections include one of the largest catalogs of recordings and scores in the United States, including the papers of [[Charles Ives]], [[Carl Ruggles]], [[Quincy Porter]], [[Horatio Parker]], [[Virgil Thomson]], [[Clarence Watters]], [[Richard Donovan (composer)|Richard Donovan]], and [[J.
