The 20th-century series contains approximately 21,600 scores dated between 1900 and 1998. The collection represents various styles of American music, such as blues, jazz, minstrel, pop, religious, rhythm and blues, showtunes, and soul music. These scores cover topics including entertainment, industry and professions, the military, people and culture, science and technology, sports and leisure, transportation, travel, and miscellaneous songs. A small number are published outside the United States, including works from Australia, Britain, Europe, Mexico, and Chile. While many of the scores are intact, several are fragile or loose at the seam, and in some cases, only the cover page remains. Most available cover pages are ornately designed and may contain photographic images, inserted notes, or autographs. The scores feature lyrical or instrumental compositions, in the form of cake walks, the Charleston, marches, polkas, quadrilles, shuffles, two-steps, and waltzes. Multiple editions exist for some titles. Notable actors, composers, directors, lithographers, lyricists, performers, producers, and publishers are frequently involved, often serving in more than one role. There is overlap between some subseries. For example, scores suitable for the Creators boxes may be included in the People and Culture boxes because of accompanying images or stereotypical representations of people of color. Similarly, some Productions scores are located within People and Culture. Please note that the collection may contain historical images and language that users could find harmful, offensive, or inappropriate.
