Schott-Archiv: Herstellungsarchiv (Musikabteilung)
-
The production archive from the Historical Archive of the music publisher B. Schott's Söhne, Mainz contains the musical sources which served as the content basis for the production process of approx. 41,000 Schott sheet music editions (engravings, galley proofs, most recent printed edition etc.). In terms of the history of origin, it ranges from the beginning of the publishing activities in the 18th century (publishing house number 1) to ca. 1945 (publishing house number 37.050), and in a few individual cases even beyond. The volumes of works were archived in ascending order of the publishing house numbers contained, reflecting the chronology of publication and the integration of completely acquired holdings from outside publishers. In total, the production archive comprises about 80,000 sources, comprising about 60,000 printed music and 20,000 music manuscripts as well as some supplementary material - such as notes on engraving and printing, text books, text transcriptions and translations of vocal works.
