Digital Collections

Berklee Archives hosts several digital collections, which offer access to content of high research interest, educational value, or exceptionally fragile condition. This includes material pertaining to Berklee’s origins and early influences, such as founder Lawrence Berk’s notebooks from his studies under Joseph Schillinger and the Berk Family collection's early concert recordings and radio broadcasts; materials documenting the academic and performing landscape of the institution, such as course catalogs, concert programs, and event recordings; and in-house documentary efforts such as the ongoing Berklee Oral History project. 

Digital collections are primarily open to the public, but some are either restricted to users with a Berklee login, or can only be accessed at the workstation in the Archives office under supervision, depending on extant rights issues or donor stipulations about the collection. Contact Berklee Archives staff (archives@berklee.edu) with access inquiries or to schedule visiting appointments.
