THE GUIDO DEIRO ARCHIVE

Thanks to the generosity of Count Guido Roberto Deiro, the CSFRI is now home to The Guido Deiro Archive. The Archive contains a rich store of documents pertaining to the life and career of Guido Deiro, who played so important a role in introducing the piano accordion in the USA during the early twentieth century. The Archive, which is also valuable for its information about the history of vaudeville, is open to interested scholars upon appointment. The materials are housed in the Mina Rees Library at the City University of New York Graduate Center.
