The first portion of the collection was donated by Adam Gutman himself in 1996 and consisted of his poetry writings, photocopies of music, and some clippings. In 2000 the rest of the material was donated by his son James (Jimmy), at the time of a tribute to Adam Gutman (aka George Adams, composer) organized by Jimmy Gutman in cooperation with the CJC Archives committee. This second part of the donation includes the musical and image CDs and materials associated with the tribute evening. At the time of Gutman's death in 2003 CJC Archives added some obituary and biographical clippings to the collection. Originals of the photocopied materials are held by Adam Gutman or by his estate and heirs. Addition donation was made by Dr. Jimmy Gutman, son of Adam Gutman, on March 19, 2007. Jimmy and Susan Gutman made an additional donation on July 23 and Nov. 4, 2020
