The Gilbert and Sullivan Collection at the Pierpont Morgan Library came into being in 1949 with the deposit and subsequent gift of the personal collection of Reginald Allen. Since then it has incorporated additions both from Mr. Allen and from many other sources, including purchases by the Library. Mr. Allen served as curator of the collection until 1980; from 1981 through 1996 the curator of the Gilbert and Sullivan Collection was Fredric Woodbridge Wilson.
