Harvard recently established itself as a major center for Mozart research after receiving a private collection of books and scores devoted to the music of Wolfgang Amedeus Mozart.

The Eda Kuhn Loeb Music Library received the collection from Eric Offenbacher, a distinguished Mozart scholar from Seattle, Wash. The collection includes two autograph manuscripts of Mozart and nearly 100 first and early editions of the composer's works.

"We intend to build upon Dr. Offenbacher's splendid library, augmenting it with new acquisitions from the antiquarian market, further developing the collection's already extraordinary depth," said John B. Howard, the Richard French Librarian of the Music Library.

The collection is housed in the Loeb Music Library, the Isham Memorial Library, and the Houghton Library.

The Andover-Harvard Theological Library at the Divinity School recently completed a 15-month project to catalog and preserve the institutional records of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC).

Tim Driscoll, the project archivist and curator of manuscripts at the Library, managed the arrangement and cataloging needs of the UUSC records, which span the history of both the Unitarian and Universalist Service Comittees as well as the combined UUSC agency. Driscoll also implemented a records management program to guide the future transfer of the Cambridge-based UUSC records to Andover-Harvard.

Topics covered in the UUSC archives include the European underground railroad for refugees of the Nazi invasions, the red-scare and red-baiting in post-War America, civil rights campaigns, and other social justice and human rights programs in the U.S. and abroad.
