Abstract
The collection of the Florida State Music Teachers Association is comprised of records from their meetings dating as far back as 1935. There are the minutes, agendas, newsletters and scores. It also has the bylaws and procedures, annual bulletin reports and a few other small folders comprised of annual correspondence.
Arrangement Note
The records are arranged in three series by the organization of the association.
Method of Acquisition
The Florida Teacher Music Association donated these materials to the University of Central Florida Libraries, Special Collections and University Archives in 1979 (CFM1979_01) and 2013 (CFM2013_06).
Processing Information
In this collection, I organized everything chronologically. I removed all the documents from their binders and folders. I also removed the Florida Music Director journal which is catalogued in the online catalog. All of the documents were placed in in acid free folders and boxes.
