Neejer (1882-1957) was born and raised in Syracuse, New York. He studied with P. Melfi and was offered a professional position in Philadelphia. He declined a professional career in order to take a position as an executive with the large Syracuse stationer, G.D. Kirkland, with which company he remained until retirement. While pursuing his business career, he continued to perform as a free-lance musician in the Syracuse area throughout most of his life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Provenance<\/h4>\n<p>This collection passed to Neejer&#8217;s daughter, Elizabeth Neejer Kober, on his death. It was retained by her until 1996, when it was donated to Sibley Music Library.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Scope and Content<\/h4>\n<p>The collection mainly contains publications for the harp from the late nineteenth century. One of the published works is by Neejer himself, and a few manuscripts of works by him also are included. Also included is a 78 rpm recording of Neejer playing, which was re-recorded from a steel wire recording made shortly before World War II. The collection represents a good example of a working library of an active free-lance harpist operative in a non-metropolitan area. It also documents the existence of an accomplished male harpist, an instrument otherwise dominated by females. Thus it is of potential interest to gender studies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Restrictions and Use<\/h4>\n<p>There are no restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Associations<\/h4>\n<p>Watanabe Special Collections includes a significant amount of harp music integrated among its rare holdings. It also possesses the <a href=\"https:\/\/esm4.esm.rochester.edu\/sibley\/specialcollections\/findingaids\/gullo\/\">Nan Gullo Collection<\/a> of rare harp music and the Lucille Rosenbloom library, which latter has been integrated with the rare holdings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a id=\"Series\" name=\"Series\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>DESCRIPTION OF SERIES<\/h3>\n<h4>Series 1: All materials<\/h4>\n<p>The collection is so predominantly composed of music that it has not been subdivided. Manuscript music is integrated with printed music and arranged alphabetically. The one recording has been placed at the end.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a id=\"Inventory\" name=\"Inventory\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>INVENTORY<\/h3>\n<h4>Series 1: All materials<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Box 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td nowrap=\"nowrap\"><strong>folder 1<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Alvars, E.
