More DescriptionJohn Steele was educated at Victoria University of Wellington and at Cambridge University, where he was a student of Thurston Dart. Steele was the first New Zealander to become a professional musicologist and the first to achieve international repute, largely for his work on Italian music of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.

The main focus of the collection is the music of the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries.
