The Vern Yocum Collection is the first of its kind to honor not only the legacy of a music copyist, but the art of handwritten music notation.

The Collection includes business records, calligraphy tools, music, and various other memorabilia that documents Vern Yocum’s life and career as the head of one of the top music preparation services in Hollywood from the 1950s through the 1970s.

The Collection is open to the public by appointment. To schedule an appointment, please contact Keith Pawlak, Music Curator, at keithp@email.arizona.edu.
