- General
- This series is divided into eight subseries: Subseries 1, Notebooks, 1932-1973, undated, Subseries 2, Correspondence and Notes, 1955-1956, undated, Subseries 3 Drawings, 1950-1959, Subseries 4, Publications and Manuscripts, 1930-1974, undated, Subseries 5, Photographs, undated, Subseries 6, Card Files, undated, Subseries 7, Samples, undated, and Subseries 8, Miscellaneous, 1934-1960, undated. Research files document Hubbard's efforts to perfect his skills building harpsichords in the 1940's and 1950's. Hubbard journeyed to archives in small towns and gathered information there. He also worked as an apprentice at Arnold Dolmetsch's workshop and later with Hugh Gough in England. This research eventually resulted in instruments that had all the qualities of their older models. This series is arranged topically, then chronologically.
