The extensive collections of manuscript and printed scores, cuttings and correspondence spanning Elizabeth Maconchy’s career have in recent years enjoyed increasing attention from academics and musicians alike. The performances of her music and the exciting academic scholarship resulting from her archives are testament to an exceptional and important collection charting a unique career. The Maconchy archives are preserved across a number of repositories. The majority of Maconchy’s surviving music manuscripts (MS) are held on deposit at the Library at St Hilda’s College, the University of Oxford. Following the transfer of the material from the Maconchy family home to the College archives in 1994 the challenging task of boxing, listing, intellectually grouping MS scores by genre (choral works, songs for children, solo instruments, etc.) so that they would be easily searchable and accessible needed to be undertaken. The collection at St Hilda’s is a rich, varied, and large one. The MS and printed scores alone are contained within some ninety-three boxes. Librarian Maria Croghan and Archivist Elizabeth Boardman had the foresight to seek the expertise of musicologist Jennifer Doctor in overseeing this project. Doctor worked on producing an early database of the scores and began to arrange them by genre and then by piece.
