He was also active as a teacher and recitalist and compiled the Packer Songs in 1916.<\/p>\n<p>The materials in the collection are documents retained by Woodman during his professional and personal life, passing down through the family ultimately to his granddaughter, Winifred Curtis Stebbins of Bailey Island, Maine, who presented them to Sibley Music Library.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Scope and Content<\/h4>\n<p>The documents include letters by Woodman pertinent to his professional life as a distinguished organist and other related affairs and ephemera such as receipts for goods and services.
