==History==
The Stephen Foster archives are housed in the Stephen Foster Memorial which was designed architect, Charles Klauder. Its construction reflects the same style as the Cathedral of Learning, and Heinz Chapel on the university's campus. The W.F. Trimble & Son's Company was contracted to help erect the building on March 2, 1935.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.pitt.edu/~amerimus/AboutCollection.html )〕 It consists of of Indiana limestone, 400 tons (360,000 kg) of steel, and of concrete.〔 In 1930, Josiah Kirby Lilly began collecting all forms of Foster's music, letters, furniture, original manuscripts and instruments. He kept his collection in his own stone cottage in Indianapolis. He called it Foster Hall. Then in 1932 Josiah Kirby Lilly pledged more than 10,000 Foster items to form the initial archive collection. Other efforts began the necessary fund-raising. Lily and his son covered almost half of the cost at that time amounting to $550,000. A portion of the collection has now been digitized and can be accessed through the University of Pittsburgh Library System.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Guide to Archives and Manuscript Collections at the University of Pittsburgh Library System )〕
