The Mahler-Rosé Collection at the University of Western Ontario has begun the process of digitisation and should, in due course, be entirely searchable online.

This is a very positive development. The collection, the largest resource of Mahler material in North America, contains vital information about the composer’s early ears, his relations with his siblings, and theirs with his wife.
