Biographical or Historical Information
The Holograph Collection was started through the efforts of Dr. Ruth Hannas and George Henry, former members of the music faculty of the Woman's College (now UNCG). The Collection began in 1939 with the gift of ten compositions from Lamar Stringfield and grew to seventy-five compositions from fifteen of North Carolina's leading composers by 1945. At that time, a booklet was published by the college which included biographical facts about each composer and a list of his or her works. The collection continued to grow to until the 1960s, with the current number of compositions over 150.
