Summary

Regina Resnik (1922-2013) was an American soprano and mezzo-soprano vocalist, as well as an opera director. The Regina Resnik papers, dating from 1934 to 2013, document Resnik's life and career through correspondence, photographs, scrapbooks, programs, clippings, annotated scores, fan club magazines, awards, posters, yearbooks, school files, art, and artifacts. The collection also illustrates in part the career of Resnik's second husband, the designer Arbit Blatas, with whom she collaborated. Its strongest features are its visual documentation of Resnik and the scrapbooks and professional files illustrating the course of her career.
