Subject Files, (majority within 1928-1989)

The Subject Files series, is divided into two subseries. The first, mainly 1928-1989, emphasizes Maddy and his administration of Interlochen although later materials, especially for the decade or two following his death, are also included. It has six sub-subseries: Joseph Maddy, Giddings and Tremaine, Interlochen, Camp, Academy, and College. The Maddy sub-subseries focuses on his career activities apart from Interlochen while Giddings and Tremaine contains background information and publications of the two other early Camp leaders. Interlochen covers subjects affecting the institution in general, mainly the Camp before 1962 and both it and the Academy thereafter. The remaining sub-subseries focus on detailed planning and operation of: the National Music Camp, Interlochen Arts Academy, and proposed Interlochen College of Creative Arts.

Maddy

The Maddy sub-subseries contains information on his professional activities outside Interlochen. Many of them relate to his role as a faculty member of the university. Although direct ties to Interlochen are lacking, virtually everything he did somehow involved the institution he founded. The sub-subseries consists of six subsections: Appearances, Broadcasting, Civic Music, Music Education, Publications, Speeches and Writings, and University of Michigan.

Appearances

"Appearances", 1926-1965, deals mainly with his role as a conductor and judge at band and orchestra contests and festivals. It includes both correspondence and printed programs, and is divided according to Michigan and out-of-state performances. Although the correspondence largely deals with arrangements, it sometimes discusses music education in general and local conditions in particular. Since many of Maddy's early in-state visits were scheduled through the Extension Service, researchers will also want to consult the University of Michigan category of this sub-subseries, and for his wartime appearances, Civic Music. For printed programs, researchers should check the Graduate and Music School Libraries (where, according to his records, he donated a complete set in 1940).
