Scope and Content Note

The Arnold T. Schwab Collection is an archive of materials related to the life and work of MarianNevins MacDowell, wife of composer Edward MacDowell (1860-1908) and founder of the MacDowellColony in Peterborough, New Hampshire. The collection was given to the Library by Professor Arnold T.Schwab of Westminster, California and it reflects his longtime interest in the MacDowell legacy. This giftjoins the Music Division’s Edward and Marian MacDowell Collection and the Manuscript Division’sMarian MacDowell Collection and MacDowell Colony Collections thereby making the Library the foremostcenter for study in the life of these two important icons of American cultural history.

Marian Griswold Nevins, who was born in 1857, was an accomplished pianist when she met EdwardMacDowell in Germany where she had intended to study with Clara Schuman, wife of composer RobertSchumann. Instead, Nevins began her study with MacDowell and eventually married him. After spendingtime in Europe, the couple returned to the United States settling in Boston and then in New York whereEdward MacDowell joined the faculty of Columbia University to establish its music department. EdwardMacDowell was considered to be the most prominent and internationally recognized American composer ofthe era.

In 1896, the MacDowells bought a 75-acre farm in Peterborough, New Hampshire; a place that theyhoped would be a source of inspiration for the composer. A decline in Edward MacDowell’s health,however, prompted them to transform the farm into a place where creative artists could find freedom toconcentrate on their work; a goal that would consume Marian MacDowell until her death in 1956.

Schwab collected these materials in preparation for a biography of Marian Nevins MacDowell, awork that was never completed. Included in the collection is a large cache of MacDowell-relatedcorrespondence: letters, mostly photocopies, to and from Edward MacDowell dating from 1876-1904, letters,mostly photocopies, to and from Marian Nevins MacDowell dating from 1884 to 1956, bulking in the period1929-1955, and others assembled from a variety of sources. Oftentimes, Schwab would stamp the name ofthe original source or home repository on the reverse of the first page of the letter. In the Arnold T. Schwabseries of correspondence there are copies of Schwab’s letters to various friends and acquaintances of theMacDowells and MacDowell Colonists along with the responses. Oftentimes, these materials will containsupporting documents in addition to correspondence. And, in more than one occasion, the name on thecorrespondence folder refers to the subject of the correspondence and not to the correspondent him/herself.Some notable correspondents include: Carl Carmer, Aaron Copland, Mabel Daniels, Marjorie ChandlerHazard, George Kendall, Nina Maud Richardson, Cecil Smith, Conrad Spohnholz, Louise Talma and manyothers.

A large group of index cards organized by various subjects and, apparently, gleaned from the above-described correspondence, capsulize various aspects of Schwab’s research. In addition to photographs ofthe MacDowells and some of their acquaintances, there are a a group of scrapbooks (1906-1988), assembledby Schwab and organized by date.

Photocopies of materials collected by Schwab from the Music Division’s Edward and MarianMacDowell Collection and the Manuscript Division’s MacDowell Collections were not retained. In addition,a reel-to-reel tape of an interview conducted by Emerson Meyers with Mary Howe and Marian MacDowellwas transferred to Motion Picture, Broadcast and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress.
