The 19th-century series consists of around 13,350 scores dated between 1794 and 1900. The collection represents various styles of popular American music, including pieces dedicated to entertainment, industry and professions, the military, people and culture, travel, politics, science, sports and leisure, transportation, and miscellaneous songs. It also includes a small number of scores published in Britain and Europe. While a substantial portion of the scores are intact, many are missing cover pages. In some cases, only the cover page is available. Among those with cover pages, a considerable number are ornately lithographed. Some are autographed or are stamped with the seller's mark. The scores feature lyrical or instrumental compositions, primarily in cake walks, galops, marches, mazurkas, polkas, schottisches, two-steps, quadrilles, redowas, and waltzes, and in some instances, there are multiple editions. Throughout the collection users will find notable creators, engravers, performers, printers, publishers, and productions associated with the scores. Please note that this collection contains historical images and language that library users may find harmful, offensive, or inappropriate.
