LaBudde Special Collections Dept. | Raymond Scott Collection | University Libraries Scope and Content of Collection The Raymond Scott Collection was donated to the University of Missouri-Kansas City by Mitzi Scott, Raymond's widow, in 1993. It contains music scores, photographs, correspondence, journals, diaries, scrapbooks, notebooks, schematics, news clippings, production notes, and personal and miscellaneous items. The collection, which encompasses much of Scott's career until 1980, has been organized into 11 series that occupy 28 boxes and an oversized drawer. The strength of the collection lies in over 400 manuscript scores by Scott. The collection also gives insight into the other side of Scott's career - that of inventor and electronic music pioneer. Other items of interest include journals, diaries and scrapbooks of Raymond Scott and his second wife, Dorothy Collins; personal and business correspondence; and several hundred photographs, including publicity and candid shots. Audio material from this collection is housed in the Marr Sound Archives
