The collection is processed as one series that, for the most part, reflects the original order found in Buttelman's file cabinets.
Three boxes of the Clifford V. Buttelman papers were donated as part of an official records submission to the Music Educators National Conference Historical Center at the University of Maryland in 1973. The bulk of the collection came in one shipment at some point between 1988 and 1989 from the Estate of Eulalia Buttelman, Clifford's wife.
