{"value"=>"<p>24.62 linear ft. (50 boxes)</p> <p>Arrangement: Alphabetical by title</p> <p>This comprehensive series makes up the bulk of the collection, and includes drafts of nearly every work Hamilton produced (a notable exception is his Opus No. 1, <span class=\"title\">Variations on an original for string orchestra</span>). The evolution of many works is traceable from the initial sketch through to the publisher’s sheet music proof. (These sheet music proofs usually contain corrections or directions.) At the end of the series there are three folders of unidentified sketches and scores, one of which is arranged by date. Please also note the following: approximately half the boxes are oversize, but were integrated with the smaller boxes for intellectual purposes; and a minor number of scores and sheet music proofs contained mold, making it necessary to photocopy them (and reduce the size of the pages to 75 percent in some cases).</p>"}
