Summary

 

This paper discusses the Ricasoli collection, which is the largest collection of Tuscan sacred music and concertos in the world (Karr, 2015). The collection was purchased in 1987 and through the help of donations the library was able turn this into the collection it is today. The full catalogue is displayed in the paper and its helpful in seeing how the items are organized. There are many pieces that are anonymous that still remain a mystery to whom the owner is. 

 

Evaluation

 

This collection identifies all the pieces available for patrons at University of Louisville, pertaining to the Ricasoli collection. Its thorough and it gives the entirety of index. Looking this over, it would be helpful with Vocabulary design and exposure to the Library of Congress catalogue structure. Also, it is impressive how this collection came to be and the history on how it was made possible.
