Roy McCoy (1920-2001) was a jazz trumpeter from Baltimore who performed with such ensembles as the house band of the Royal Theater and the Lionel Hampton Band in the late 1930s and 1940s. McCoy took many pictures of his friends and associates in the Baltimore musical scene. The McCoy photographs collection contains prints, negatives, and a photo album of musicians and associates, primarily from approximately 1935 to 1965.
Shimura Kako Company photograph album of student protest
The photograph album contains thirty manila pages and fifty-three black and white photographs mounted in pairs. Photographs of student protesters in hard hats and white scarves, factory workers, and police are taken at close range and in the midst of confrontation. The album appears to have been compiled by the company under protest, the Shimura Kako Company, a nickel factory in Tokyo, Japan in 1969.
Sounds and Stories collection
Sounds and Stories began in 2002 as an oral-history project. A Peabody Conservatory musicology seminar of 18 students interviewed dozens of participants in the music of Baltimore's black community to record their memories and to document their world and their legacy. The collection was assembled primarily from 1998 to 2004 and contains oral histories, photographs, and supporting research about African-American musical culture, especially in Baltimore from approximately 1930 to 1960.
