The Gottfried Galston Music Collection and The Galston-Busoni Archive includes manuscripts (musical and literary), letters, photographs, programs, musical scores, newspaper clippings, and other items of memorabilia documenting the lives and careers of both Gottfried Galston and Ferruccio Busoni.

This collection houses 19 silver gelatin photographs printed on resin-coated paper used to illustrate The Gottfried Galston Collection and Galston-Busoni Archive by Pauline Shaw Bayne. Four photographs are modern prints of photographs made while Ferruccio Benvenuto Busoni was alive. The other photographs are reprints of items within the collection.
