Collections

The library's collection is based on a variety of donations dating back from the very beginning. These include private collections from former directors of the house, such as Selmar Bagge, Hans Huber, or Felix Weingartner. Other collections have been added, including the historical score archive of the Basler Gesangverein, the private library of Anthony Rooley et al.
