- Winston Sharples (b. Mar. 1, 1909, in Fall River, Massachusetts; d. Apr. 3, 1978, in Hilton Head, South Carolina) was an American composer known for his work with animated short subject films.
The collection contains Sharples' manuscript particells (a form of lead sheet that contains film dialogue, descriptive action cues, other film frame specific comments and a piano score), full orchestral scores, instrumental parts and lyric sheets for Paramount Famous Studios animated short films. In addition, there are scores, instrumental parts, musical cues (often composed by associate composer George Steiner) and other incidental music written for several mid-1960s television cartoon series produced by Joe Oriolo and Hal Seeger.
