The collection chiefly contains the manuscript and published musical compositions and arrangements of the conductor and pianist Ezra Rachlin (1915-1995), a large number of printed performance and miniature scores of works by other composers,
together with newspaper cuttings, scrap books, recordings and printed ephemera associated with his professional performances. Rachlin was also a photographic artist, but there are very few such works present in this collection: a group of his
photographic works were donated to Grey College by Ann Rachlin in 2013. As evidenced by a number of items in the collection, a running theme in Rachlin's career from the 1950s onwards was his engagement with young audiences, an interest furthered in
collaboration with his second wife Ann Rachlin after their marriage in 1969.
Donated by Ann Rachlin, widow of Ezra Rachlin, 11 October 2013, 2 June 2014, 10 March 2017: Misc. 2013/14: 15, 70; Misc.2016/17:101.
