Joseph B. Budziszewski Papers, 1924-1997

Scope and Content Note

The collection primarily consists of Budziszewski's files of memorabilia from his singing engagements. These include programs; newspaper reviews, advertisements, and clippings; handbills; and other items. The earliest material (1924-1969) was originally mounted in scrapbooks, and also includes photographs of Budziszewski from childhood and in various roles. These scrapbooks were loaned for copying and the photocopies placed in the collection. Later files date from 1969 to 1997, and consist of both photocopies and original items. Also included are copies of the music scores commissioned by Budziszewski: “Evening Song,” “Rozszumiaty sie Wierzby,” and “Hejze ino Fioleczku Lesny,” arranged by Edmund Assaly, and “Idzie Maciek, Idzie,” and “Sialem Proso na Zagonie” arranged by Leonhard Rose.
