I'm guessing that the collection consists approximately of 80% reel-to-reel tapes. Not the sturdiest storage - check out the angle of the shelving to the wall line of the corner to the left!
Although most of the reels are in boxes, a significant number are either loose or in less-than desirable containers.
The collection contains
four 4-drawer two 4-drawer and two 5-drawer file cabinets, housing a variety of materials, including administrative records, correspondence, equipment manuals, and music scores. There has been some attempt in the past to organize the files (note the yellow hand-written sheets), but the work was never completed. This will pose a challenge as I try to evaluate the organization and original order of the collection.

Hi, what a wonderful stuff you have shown on your website. Are there more Babbitt's manuscripts in the archive? Do you have more copies of these photos or similar sort? My name is Jay and I am currently a student of Babbitt at Juilliard. I would love to ask you some more questions if you dont mind. My email is ibmlizard@gmail.com, please email me since I could not find your email address on the website. Thanks.
Jay
Hi Jay,
Thanks for your comments, and glad you're enjoying some of the material on the blog!
Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I'm still working out some of the settings of the blog administration.
I'll contact you by email also, as you requested.
Best, /Nick
