The Rafael Méndez Library, housed at Arizona State University in Tempe, now has a complete website. Type in mendezlibrary.asu.edu to see hundreds of photos, original manuscripts, newspaper clippings, and concert programs about this famed trumpeter.

The website was set up as part of a doctoral dissertation project by John Marchiando and offers online visitors "a facinating glimpse into the trumpet world during the 1930s - 1970s."

The Library itself, established in 1993, houses more than 300 original manuscripts and about 700 sets of parts of Méndez compositions and arrangements along with Méndez memorabilia of all kinds. It includes a conference area and AV facilities.
