Early in 2003, the Society for the Preservation of Music Hall established a committee to research and catalog the history and archives of this venerable building. Robert Howes, a violist for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, was named chairman for this effort. Together with an assembled committee, significant progress has been made. The Cincinnati Museum Center's Historical Society Library has agreed to store and catalog the materials that are discovered and identified by the SPMH committee.
In early October, 2003 a display of some of the material assembled opened in display cases on loan from
the Historical Society. It was located in the southeast corner of the second-floor balcony overlooking the foyer. Currently plans are underway for acquisition or construction of a permanent display case for rotating historic displays of Music Hall memorabilia and artifacts.
Most recently, materials acquired by SPMH's Archive Committee were used in the documentary Music Hall: Cincinnati Finds Its Voice.
If you have Music Hall historic materials, photographs or memorabilia and would like to donate these materials to SPMH, please contact SPMH at (513) 744-3293 or write to SPMH, 1241 Elm Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45202.
