Records of the University of Florida Department of Music
Scope and Content
Series 76 contains administrative papers of two heads of the Department of Music, Reid Poole and Robert S. Bolles. The earliest records, however, are Bolles' files as a member of the faculty and, later, Assistant Director of the Division of Music. In 1958, when the Division of Fine Arts was created, Bolles became head of the Dept. of Music. In 1967, Reid Poole became department chair.
The series contains correspondence, memoranda, reports, and department minutes. Also included are Poole's files on the Lyceum Council containing correspondence pertaining to performers who appeared on campus. Also of interest are files related to the effort to secure a new music building and in-service courses offered by the department in conjunction with the Division of Continuing Education.
The series also contains concert and recital programs from the Department of Music dating from 1949 through 2020, photographs of the marching band, newsletters, information on courses offered by the Department, and informational brochures on the marching band.
