Locations and Catalogues of Gurney Manuscripts

The main repository of Gurney manuscripts is at the Gloucestershire Archives. A catalogue of this collection is available to browse on this page. A very small number of manuscripts are held at the Royal College of Music and the Bodleian Library. A catalogue of these items will be available here very shortly.

Also accessible through this page is a description of the work of the Gurney Trust and their policy on the use of Gurney’s manuscripts and works. Please take especial note of the copyright issues surrounding the performance and recording of Gurney’s as yet unpublished work.
