Charles Kennedy Scott (1876-1965) was an important figure in the world of choral singing and was on the staff of Trinity from 1929 to 1965. He taught singing and conducted the College Choir and was a Member of the Corporation and Board. The collection includes manuscripts of some of his choral works, personal notebooks, programmes (many for the Oriana Madrigal Society, which he formed), press cuttings and letters (including ones from Balfour Gardiner, Percy Grainger and Edmund Rubbra). There are also two sets of the Euterpe series of madrigals, which Scott edited and which were published by Oxford University Press. Some items in the collection (including programmes from the memorial services of Granville Bantock, Arnold Bax, Kathleen Ferrier, Balfour Gardiner, Herbert Murrill and Roger Quilter) belonged to Kathleen Ewart, a singer who was involved in the Phoebus Singers, another choir conducted by Scott. Other items were given by Philip and Elizabeth Miles.

The Jerwood Library supports Trinity's mission to prepare informed performers of the highest calibre. Its core business is to provide all the information resources and music materials that students need to attain the high standard required by their courses. It is also a research library with collections of international significance, the most important of these being the Mander & Mitchenson Theatre Collection. The establishment of the Jerwood Library, which opened in September 2001, was made possible through the generosity of the Jerwood Foundation [www.jerwood.org.uk]. The Jerwood Library has three divisions: the main Jerwood Library, the Mander & Mitchenson Theatre Collection and the Centre for Young Musicians Library.
