Description: The Paul & Diny Schramm collection reflects the lives and careers of two migrant musicians. The papers date mainly from 1887-1984; however early papers of the Soetermeer family dated 1794-1852 are included. Particular strengths of the collection lie in the music scores of works by Paul Schramm, the correspondence and the large number of newsclippings and programmes. The collection reflects musical life in Europe from the late 1890s to the early 1930s, the Schramm's musical activities in Indonesia ca 1934, their work in New Zealand, and Paul Schramm's subsequent move, career and death in Australia. Part of the Archive of New Zealand Music Various lists held in back file: Hans Schramm's list of items proposed for the Turnbull Library and List of items proposed for the National Library; Preliminary box list of collection compiled on arrival at the Library; List of music transferred from Turnbull to S&MC 3 Mar 1993; List of photo blocks returned to Hans Schramm, Nov 1992; Photocopies of early printed music and other music transferred to Special Printed Collections. Arrangement: On arrival at the Library a box list was compiled. However, in 1992, due to the Schramm centenary when articles, a concert and exhibition were planned, work began on arranging and describing the collection while the materials were being used by researchers and staff; this resulted in some resorting and renumbering of items. The collection is divided into thirteen series. The original order has been preserved where possible. The Schramms kept some programmes in metal-clipped folders which, for conservation reasons, have been separated and refoldered. Quantity: 220 folder(s). 21 volume(s). 1.92 Linear Metres. Physical Description: Holographs, mss, typescripts (some copies), printed matter Provenance: Upon the death of Diny Schramm in 1987, Ian Wards and John M Thomson assisted her son, Hans Schramm, deposit the collection of papers and New Zealand-related materials in the Library.
