Hewitt Microfilm Inventory

The Hewitt Microfilm Collection was acquired by Dr. Hewitt over many years of research on Ottaviano dei Petrucci, the first printer of music. While studying in Europe in the 1930s, she examined many 15th-century chanson manuscripts. Later, in the 1960s and 1970s, she obtained films of most of the manuscripts with which she had once worked directly. These films are a valuable resource for research in Renaissance music.  This list was compiled for the Music Library by Donna Arnold.  

Please click on the film's call number to view a more detailed record in the on-line catalog.  The films were cataloged primarily by Graduate Library Assistant Kevin Salfen.
