ABSTRACT
Cage entrusted his collections to four primary institutions: his correspondence and materials related to music are at Northwestern University, materials related to his writing and publications are at Wesleyan University, materials related to nature and mushrooms are housed at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and his music manuscripts are held at the New York Public Library. However, there are other collections with materials related to Cage as Cage was a prolific letter writer and was well aware of the historical importance of his work.
