MEMORABILIASwell to Great image gallery One immediate goal of this [legacy] site was to facilitate evaluation and disposal of Roberta Bitgood's remaining professional collections, exercising due diligence with respect to the potential value of certain materials for future researchers. As of January, 2024, readers may be interested to review the contents of the special collection currently maintained as the Roberta Bitgood Papers by the Charles E. Shain Library at Connecticut College. The extent of overlap or uniqueness of certain undocumented materials not in that collection will need systematic cross-comparison. We hope to undertake that work in the near future. Materials collected by Bitgood in several categories that are still uncataloged include books, clippings, correspondence, manuscripts, notebooks, sheet music/scores, and printed programs. In the years immediately following Bitgood's death, some materials (such as multiple copies or sets of sacred choral music) and LP recordings were offered and claimed by interested members of the New London County AGO chapter. From this page, we still offer a selection of images from Roberta Bitgood's autobiographical memoir Swell to Great: A Backward Look from My Organ Loft, co-authored in collaboration with Julia Goodfellow and published in 2000 by The Bayberry Design Company. — Grace Wiersma |
