Documenting our history from 1891 to present

Browse our digital collection of photographs, scores, operating documents, and much more. With more than 130 years of history, we have worked to document and maintain the history of Seattle's oldest arts organization.

Artist Concert Series

Performers brought to Seattle by our organization from 1900 to 1995

The Artist Concert Series ran from 1900 to 1995 and brought world famous performers to Seattle stages four to six times per season. This series established LMC as Seattle’s leading music organization and put it on the national musical map. Artist photographs were often given to LMC concert managers by performers when they came to Seattle under the auspices of the LMC for its Artist Concert Series. This collection also includes concert programs and other artifacts from these performances.

Member Books & Activities

Peek into the LMC's past activities and operations from 1891 to 1986

LMC issued a yearbook – called a “Members’ Book” – annually (1891-1932) or biennially (1932 - 1986). These comprehensive books offer a snapshot of the LMC’s activities, including all musical programs and members in a given season or seasons, a financial overview, special notes, leadership and committees, and/or bylaws and administrative documents. Other activities and information about notable members were documented through special event programs, photographs, and newspaper clippings.

Administrative Documents

Secretary’s books reveal the meticulous inner workings of the LMC and give insight into the LMC’s various programs. The LMC’s bylaws were printed in Members’ Books but also printed separately at times. Other administrative artifacts include stock certificates, financial records, and miscellaneous administrative or financial documents of historical interest.
