The collections may be searched by keyword or browsed by Musical Sketches, Writings, Correspondence, Photographs, Title Index, or a Works List.
All images are available in multiple resolutions.
Special presentations include a brief introduction to Copland's music, an illustrated timeline, and a collection of articles written in tribute of the composer's 75th birthday. This site, the first major digital project of the Washington University in St. Louis Library, takes advantage of a remarkable collection of documents that involve both local history and one of the most significant episodes in Antebellum US history, the Dred Scott Case. In 1846, Dred Scott and his wife Harriet filed suit for their freedom in the St. Louis Circuit Court, initiating an eleven-year legal fight that ended in the US Supreme Court, which issued a decision that contributed in no small part to rising tensions between the free and slave states. In addition to the documents, the site also provides a brief chronology and links for further information. At present, the pilot site offers over 1,200 images, searchable by keyword, advanced search, or by collection.
