Necrology

Nathan Eakin first began the Gaylord Music Library Necrology file as a card file in the mid-1980s. (Inquiries concerning this information are welcome.) In 1991, the project moved to a word processing file and in 1995, became available as a web page. The column published in the Music Library Association's journal, Notes, called the Necrology Index, is extracted from this Necrology file.

The goal is to report what appears in the current music media as it arrives in Gaylord Music Library. We attempt to maintain this file daily. (The "Last update:" date below refers to updates to this page only.)

Since death notices often contain conflicting dates, ages, and name forms, all are reported. Alternate name spellings are listed in square brackets. Citations follow the data they have provided.
