Extent
16.24 Linear Feet in 3 cartons, 15 manuscript boxes, 3 flat boxes, 1 oversize flat box, and 1 flat-file folder.
Scope and Contents
This subseries contains material related to Dixon's tenure as a professor at Bennington College, from 1968 to 1995, during which he also founded the Black Music Division (1974). Founding documentation of the Division includes reports, memos, and writings by Dixon. A report from the Black Music Division Visiting Committee dating from 1979 to 1981 provides an overview of the Division and their findings. Division meeting material in this subseries includes audio recordings, minutes, and notes. Dixon's administrative files contain budgets, correspondence, and memos related to the Division. Lecture notes, syllabi, recording transcripts, along with reading and listening lists for Dixon's classes and music lessons are in this subseries. Black Music Division Ensemble and other Bennington College event ephemera and planning files contain programs, promotional posters, correspondence, and notes. Work files for the Black Music Division's short-lived journal, Manuscript: Journal of the New Black Music, contain meeting minutes, writing submissions, correspondence, drafts, and mock-ups from 1974 to 1975. This subseries contains images of rehearsals, performances, college buildings, Bill Dixon, and fellow professors Stephen Horenstein, Sonny Brown, Arthur Brooks, and Nadi Qamar interacting with students. This subseries also contains completed questionnaires, most likely distributed by Dixon to faculty, students, and administrators, to test their knowledge of Black Music from the mid-1940s to the 1970s.
