List of music played by Farnam as a child, circa 1892

The collection consists of the personal papers of Lynnwood Farnam, including correspondence, diaries and notebooks, scrapbooks, programs, clippings, and church service programs, all which document his personal life and career as a church and performing organist and head of the new organ department at the Curtis Institute of Music. The collection includes an extensive collection of photos and specifications of organs that Farnam viewed and played during his career and travels (1900-1928). In addition the collection contains correspondence and papers that were collected during attempts to write Farnam's biography, as well as materials added to the collection since it was donated to the Curtis Institute of Music.
