content: Includes a substantial amount of material that forms the core of the massive group of images photographed by Germann as part of her research. These 5x7 color photographic prints document harpsichords, makers, restorers, painters, and owners. Germann housed the photographs in individual paper jackets with extensive information relating each image.  Well known makers of harpsichords include Derek Adlam (May 30, 1938-), Mark Adler, Robert Hicks, Joseph Kingston, Jr. (June 6, 1947-November 1, 2022), Jacob Kirchmann [Kirckman/Kirkman] (March 4, 1710-June 9, 1792), Joop Klinkhamer, Earl L. Russell (January 12, 1922-September 4, 2004), Michael-Christfried Winkler (March 18, 1946-), Claude Mercier-Ythier (1931-July 3, 2020), and Peter Watchorn (May 30, 1957-). Other information relates to the decorators, harpsichordists, and owners. Materials are arranged in alphabetical order, by the last name of the harpsichord maker, as created by Germann.
