The Cole Porter Collection was acquired by the Library of Congress as gifts from Mr. Porter and his estate between 1962-1965. In addition, Albert Sirmay (musical director for Chappell and Porter’s editor) donated materials to the collection between 1963-1964.

 Processing History

The Cole Porter collection was arranged and described in 1999 by Mark Horowitz. In 2009, Janet McKinney coded and edited the finding aid for EAD format.

 Other Repositories

The researcher should be aware that there is a significant Cole Porter collection at the Yale University Library--a bequest which includes a large number of holograph and copyist’s manuscripts of musical works, as well as a number of scrapbooks and photographs.

 Related Material

The Cole Porter Collection contains only those items that were given to the Library specifically for inclusion in the Cole Porter Collection; however, it does not contain all works by Cole Porter held in the Music Division’s collections. It may be of particular interest to the researcher to know that elsewhere in our collections are the following:

Librettos to seventeen shows, mostly typescripts, in some cases in earlier and later drafts, including scripts for three shows that were not produced: An Almost Perfect Lady, Ever Yours and Star Dust; TLS from Cole Porter in the Clifford Collection; At least 36 shows are represented in the class M1508 (excerpts from musicals, including films); Full scores and/or parts for Anything Goes, Du Barry Was a Lady, Kiss Me Kate, Out of This World, Panama Hattie and Silk Stockings; Piano-vocal scores for six shows, including Happy New Year and Unsung Cole that were created after Porter's death; Full scores to three songs from Around the World in Eighty Days in the Robert Russell Bennett Collection ML96.B4673; An extensive amount of Porter related materials in the Warner-Chappell Collection, particularly copyist’s manuscripts and ozalids for dozens of songs from a number of shows, including a large number of unpublished works.

The Cole Porter Collection at the Library of Congress provides the researcher with an invaluable look at Porter's creative process and represents a large percentage of his output, particularly of his later works. Eighteen shows are included in the collection representing twenty-one productions, including film versions of stage works. Over 280 song titles are represented, some as incomplete lyric sketches only.

The Cole Porter Collection is organized chronologically based on the opening date of each show preceded by a few miscellaneous early works. In the three instances where a Broadway musical was subsequently filmed, the materials for the film have been included with the stage materials. Within each show the music and lyric materials have been organized alphabetically by song title. Other materials–scripts, research, programs, clippings, and miscellaneous items–follow in roughly the order of their closeness to the creative process of the production.

Comparatively little music is in Porter's own hand; most of the composer’s holographs are found in the materials for See America First and the Miscellaneous Music, which contains some of Porter's musical exercises and student work (probably created while he was studying at the Schola Cantorum in Paris). In later years, Porter was known to "dictate" his music, playing it out on the piano, with an amanuensis producing the actual music notation. Most of the music manuscripts are either in the hands of copyists or the hand of Porter's amanuenses. These manuscripts and those of Dr. Sirmay, a composer and musician in his own right, are considered to be the closest thing to original manuscripts for these songs as exists.

The real treasures in this collection can be found in Porter's lyric sketches for his last four Broadway musicals–Kiss Me Kate, Out of this World, Can-Can and Silk Stockings. In instances where lyric sketches were already clipped together, a letter followed by a page number in brackets has been written in pencil on the corner of each page (for instance: [A-1]). It is unclear whether there is any significance to the order or organization of these lyric sheets. Most of the typed lyric sheets are dated, providing a clear evolution of those songs as the various drafts developed. Some drafts contain changes and corrections in Porter's hand in addition to alternate lyrics for recording, broadcast, touring and London productions of the shows.

The Alphabetical Index of Song Titles found toward the end of this finding aid lists all song titles included in the collection, the show in which they can be found, and with occasional notes regarding how complete the materials for that song are.

The Alphabetical Index of Correspondents found at the end this finding aid lists the name of the correspondent, with which show materials his letter(s) may be found, and the box and folder number that includes the correspondence. With some notable exceptions, such as the letters from George S. Kaufman and Abe Burrows, the majority of the correspondence in the collection is of mostly minor significance–often requests for tickets to shows. Some of the correspondence listed represents letters from Porter to the correspondent.

Two books proved invaluable in the preparation of this finding aid: Robert Kimball's The Complete Lyrics of Cole Porter [CLCP] and Tommy Krasker and Robert Kimball's Catalog of the American Musical. A few items were found that are not mentioned in either of those books; they have been noted in this finding aid as being "previously unknown."

 Organization of the Cole Porter Collection

This collection is organized into one series:

Organized chronologically based on the opening date of each show, with the music and lyric materials within each show organized alphabetically by song title. Other materials--scripts, research, programs, clippings, and miscellaneous items--follow in roughly the order of their closeness to the creative process of the production.
