Professor Gwynne Brown and Music Liaison Librarian Lori Ricigliano collaborated on an assignment to engage students with primary sources in the Archives. Using the Leroy Ostransky Collection, students analyzed correspondence, lecture notes, music scores, newspaper clippings, and manuscripts. They then wrote an essay about Ostransky and their experience with archival research.
