Archival Collections
The Institute of Jazz Studies archives program collects, preserves, and provides access to jazz and its heritage to the world for research, creative expression, and enjoyment. The Institute’s archives include unique and unpublished materials with enduring value created and/or compiled by people and organizations related to jazz culture. The IJS is a public research repository and accepts donations of collections with the primary purpose of making those collections available to students, scholars, and the general public.
The Institute’s archival holdings consist of collections of personal papers and organizational records that document the growth and development of jazz throughout the 20th century. These materials are available to the public by appointment.
Finding aids for the majority of the Institute's archival collections are searchable on the website, Archives and Special Collections at Rutgers.
