The former library of the Conservatory of Music was built
in 1925, nine years after the establishment of the
conservatory.

After World War II, UP transferred its campus from
Manila to Diliman, Quezon City, and the library started to
be reorganized in 1954.

Under the administration of President Carlos P. Romulo,
the then Conservatory of Music officially became a
college in 1968.

The UP College of Music named its current building after
the famous Filipino composer and distinct alumnus of the
Conservatory, Nicanor Abelardo.

Among the National Artists for Music,
seven came from the
Conservatory of Music/UP College of Music:
Antonino R. Buenaventura
Jovita Fuentes
Jose Maceda
Lucio D. San Pedro
Felipe Padilla De Leon
Antonio J. Molina
Andrea O. Veneracion
The art music manuscripts of famous composer
Abelardo, and National Artists Molina,
Buenaventura, and San Pedro, and other famous
composers and alumni were donated by their
heirs to the library of the UP College of Music.
Physically, many of these scores are no longer
usable nor recommended for repetitive handling
and photo duplication, because the paper folia of
the manuscripts are already yellowing and
crumbling.
To address this concern on the preservation and
restoration of these Philippine art music
manuscripts of the University of the PhilippinesDiliman College of Music, an application to the
Source of Solutions (SOS) Grants of the UP
OVCRD was made.
Guidelines and recommended practices
fundamental to the preservation of these materials
of heritage have been laid for the librarians and
archivists worldwide and these were employed to
guarantee that the proper preservation of
representative records was done.
A simple laboratory was set up by the project
proponents and the restoration process involves
digital imaging of the originals, evaluation and
documentation, deacidification, cleaning,
mending, encapsulation and boxing/binding.

This is an ongoing project, and the proponents are hoping
that the grant and resources available will be able to sustain
the restoration project until the end. It is the main goal of this
project to relive and capture the remains of the Filipino
classical music, so that this music era, genre and forms will
forever live. This tangible collection of music heritage has
high cultural, historical and symbolic value—a real asset of
the university and the country.
