Digital Collections

Scope and Content Note

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.

Established in 1998, the Berklee Oral History Project (BOHP) seeks to chronicle Berklee’s rich history from those who have lived, shaped, and defined it. In capturing the diverse experiences and perceptions of Berklee faculty, staff, and alumni, Berklee Archives seeks to document Berklee’s pedagogical contributions to music education, as well as the events and issues that have impacted the direction and identity of the institution. This collection comprises video interviews from over 100 individuals closely associated with Berklee College of Music and the Boston Conservatory, including faculty, staff, presidents, and alumni. Some early interviews also feature individuals unaffiliated with Berklee who were active in the Boston jazz community.

    Berklee Today (1989- present) is the official alumni magazine of Berklee. The magazine is currently published semi-annually, though issues released per year have varied since its launch in 1989. Previously a publication of the Office of the Institute of Advancement, Berklee Today is now a publication of the Office of External Affairs as of 2019.
