content: The Marketing Records, mainly date from 1901 to 1960, with some material from perhaps as late as 1983.  They consist of the catalogs, brochures, fliers, and postcards published by Sohmer to present and market their pianos.  The records include various editions of "The Story Behind the Sohmer," a widely published booklet which promotes the idea of family tradition and continuity in the production of quality pianos.
