Jazzmusicians live such complicated lives that it is hard to think of them collecting the large and significant archives anticipated from writers, public figures, artists and composers.

But'archives'are rare. yale did acquire the Ellington Archives some years ago.*

'l',1'993 on ]une a conference at the Press Library of Congress announced its acquisition, from Sue Gordon Mingus, Charles' widow, of the Mingui Archivei. The collection contains original music manuscripts scores and patts, tapes, photogriphs,literary manuscripts and memorabilia. The collection is both large and importani. tr'or-eximple, his movin glgliautobiography,Beneath the Underdog was drawn from over L,000 manuscript pages.

Mingus' genius is clear to most. His public persona was too complicated, to many too frightening, to approach; he was intensely self awari and sbcially alert. And, my goodness, such beautiful music. Archives a1e by definition,-'public documents.' This acquisition brings to us materials whieh would unavlrlable worse, vulnerable to loss or damage. sJthank i:[t** jor yoryp.yi"gqs ar_r4
