The documents in the Renato De Grandis Archive (Venice, 24 October 1927 - Palmanova (UD), 2 December 2008) provide evidence of the various compositional stages of his vocal and instrumental music and music for theatre (728 pages of sketches, about 1,381 pages of texts and notes on music, 3,347 pages of autograph scores and 77 printed scores). The intense activity of De Grandis as a poet, writer and scholar of theosophy, on the other hand, is illustrated by over 300 pages of typed texts in verse and prose. Substantial sections of the archive consist of correspondence (over 1,200 items, mostly letters and rough copies), programmes and concert posters (over 500) and 68 photographs (mainly of stage sets for his works). The collection is completed by audio cassettes, CDs and tapes with compositions by De Grandis and Indian music. There are also over 300 microfilm prints of manuscripts of his ancestor Vincenzo De Grandis (1631-1708).

The archive is currently being reordered.
