Processing Information
Correspondence by Administration: The ITA administrative correspondence is arranged chronologically and subdivided by the terms of office of the successive presidents. The two-year presidential terms began and ended in June or July, depending on the dates of the annual International Trombone Workshop, and the correspondence is arranged accordingly. The presidential correspondence includes communications of the incumbent president of the ITA, as well as other officers, if present. Some administrations are more fully documented than others. There is also significant overlap between the presidential correspondence and committee files. Most items were left where found, but if their original location is not clear, they were placed with the presidential correspondence. Thomas G. Everett, President ITA, June, 1972-1974 & 1974-June, 1976: Items of interest include: the founding of the Association and its organization; its incorporation; publication of the Newsletter, Journal and Brass World; membership and workshop planning, translations, and commissioned music.
