The Bloch Collection covers the life and careers of the Jewish Swiss-born violinist/composer/conductor and photographer, beginning with his grade school report cards, dated 1888 through 1894, and continuing beyond his death in 1959 with the publication of some musical works, and exhibitions of his photography. Music having been the primary focus of his life, Bloch's photographic skills are lesser known. Oregonians are more familiar with this aspect of his life owing to several exhibitions of his output by the Center for Creative Photography in Portland. The Collection includes manuscripts (music and lecture material), correspondence, business papers, photographs, programs, promotional material, writings about Ernest Bloch, personal papers, printed matter, and the material donated by Carolyn Epes.

Totaling nearly 200 items, the collection of Bloch music manuscripts is comprehensive in scope of his output. One of his more popular works, Schelomo, is not represented in this collection, but there is a score of the piece in the Moldenhauer Archive at the Library of Congress. The intense pride Bloch held in his Jewish heritage is demonstrated in his Israel Symphony (1912-1916), the Three Jewish Poems (1913, mentioned earlier), and the Avodath Hakodesh (Sacred Service) (1933); these and several other works on Jewish themes are represented in the collection. There are only two scores represented in the Manuscript Transcriptions of Works by Others sub-series.

The Correspondence series is divided into two sub-series: Personal Correspondence, and General Correspondence. The Personal Correspondence includes letters and similar material (i.e. post cards, invitations, and telegrams) from family members and close friends. Other letters and related material are filed in the General Correspondence sub-series. At the end of the correspondence file are two smaller sub-series of material; Special Category (i.e. Bloch letter drafts, Bloch letter to anonymous singer, and unidentifiable items), and Miscellaneous, which contains the envelopes of the letters herein.

The Business Papers series covers the business affiliations of Ernest Bloch and his son, Ivan, and is divided accordingly. Generally, the series includes contracts, business correspondence, royalty statements, and miscellaneous; however, some organizations' files contain a greater variety of materials thus requiring additional subject headings. The arrangement is alphabetical by name of organization, then alphabetical by subject heading, and then chronological when date is known. This arrangement scheme is used in both Ernest Bloch and Ivan Bloch business papers.

Divided by subject and arranged chronologically, the Photographs series is fairly small, considering the fact that Bloch was also a skillful photographer. The photos depict Bloch alone (usually portraits), or Bloch family members. Of special note, there is a photograph of Ernest Bloch with Roger Sessions.

Beginning in 1908 and continuing through 1980, the Programs series is arranged chronologically. Each citation includes date, concert venue, performing artist(s) when given, and Bloch work(s) performed unless the entire concert was a Bloch tribute.

The Writings series is divided into four sub-series: Biographical Writings, Clippings, Articles in Serials, and Articles and Clippings in Scrapbooks.

The EB Legal, Financial, and Miscellaneous Documents series in the Collection houses some personal documents of Ernest Bloch and two other members of the Bloch family: wife Marguerite Elizabeth Auguste Bloch and daughter Suzanne Bloch. Sub-divided into two groups, Ernest Bloch Papers and Papers of Other Family Members, this series includes Bloch's grade school report cards, his passports, marriage certificate, and birth certificate of Marguerite Elizabeth Auguste Bloch.

The Printed Matter file is the final series in the Collection proper. It consists of one volume of printed music containing Bloch selections, promotional material (a small gathering of brochures, announcements, and flyers that promote Ernest Bloch and his work), one literary volume (Darwin, Marx, Wagner by Jacques Barzun), and a folder of miscellaneous loose items.

The material in the Carolyn Epes / Ernest Bloch Collection follows the same arrangement scheme as the larger collection. The Music Manuscripts series includes only one item: a copy of the piano-vocal score to Bloch's anthem, America. There are no business papers or personal documents included with this material; however, all other series are represented.

Contributors to the processing of this collection include Lloyd A. Pinchback, Music Specialist, and Tim Bullard and Mike Ferrando, Library Technicians, all Music Division staff members.

The Business Papers series covers the business affiliations of Ernest Bloch and his son, Ivan, and is divided accordingly. Generally, the series includes contracts, business correspondence, royalty statements, and miscellaneous; however, some organizations' files contain a greater variety of materials thus requiring additional subject headings.

Both sub-series include contracts, business correspondence, royalty statements, and miscellaneous. The arrangement is alphabetical by name of organization, then alphabetical by subject heading, and then chronological when date is known.

Divided by subject and arranged chronologically, the Photographs series is fairly small, considering the fact that Bloch was also a skillful photographer. The photos depict Bloch alone (usually portraits), or Bloch family members. Of special note, there is a photograph of Ernest Bloch with Roger Sessions.
