The CWCC is a unique music resource serving to:
The collection was established in 2015 and is housed at University of British Columbia (UBC) Library’s Rare Books and Special Collections (RBSC) on UBC’s Vancouver campus. It includes a variety of items, such as hand-edited scores, original manuscripts, working drafts, photographs, prints, published articles, correspondence, streaming videos, as well as miscellanea used for inspiration in the artists’ process. Each year, the UBC Music Librarian working together with UBC Rare Books and Special Collections (RBSC) collaborates with a Canadian composer for purposes of acquiring research resources appropriate to the CWCC.
The list of current CWCC participants is available through canadian-women-composers-collection.pdf.
The CWCC is made possible through generous funding from the Anne Kaplan Endowment, UBC Library.
