Box 1

The Joel Mandelbaum Manuscripts and Printed Music collection contains numerous printed and handwritten scores and manuscripts created by Joel Mandelbaum. Dr. Mandelbaum joined the Queens College faculty in 1961, serving as a professor of music for the Queens College Department of Music (later renamed the Aaron Copland School of Music in 1980) and retiring in 1999 after 37 years of service to the university.

The Ephemera series contains a number of materials that contextualize Joel Mandelbaum's contributions as a faculty member and musician during his nearly 40 year tenure at the Aaron Copeland School of Music. Two programs of the concert in honor of his retirement, a list of his catalogued works by the library, and his own catalogue as of June 2011 are among the series. Materials in box 1, except for proclamation which is in box 2.
