Music Collection
The Tanglewood Papers are historical papers documenting the pre-Tanglewood history of the Berkshire Symphonic Festival and the Berkshire Music Center, as well as the founding of Tanglewood and the building of its music pavilion – “The Shed.”
The papers are from the estate of well-known summer resident, Gertrude Robinson Smith, whose fundraising efforts resulted in construction of “The Shed.”
This Collection is available only through appointment with the Music & Reference Librarian.
