Welcome to the Isham Memorial Library wiki

Welcome to the Isham Memorial Library wiki.

Ralph Waldo Isham (Class of 1889) donated an Aeolian Skinner organ to the Memorial Church in 1932, along with funds to buy organ scores. That collection of scores was named the Isham Memorial Library in 1939. In 1972, the Isham Memorial Library became the Eda Kuhn Loeb Music Library's Special Collections adjunct library.
