The Jay T. Last sheet music collection consists of approximately 37,419 scores dating from 1794 to the 1960s. It includes a wide range of American popular music styles, as well as some British and European popular music. The collection encompasses ballads, comic songs, minstrel scores, military scores, patriotic melodies, ragtime compositions, Broadway tunes, rhythm and blues hits, and 1960s surf music. The scores comprise various editions of lyrical and instrumental compositions, some of which have ornately lithographed covers and bear the signatures of composers, performers, and artists, as well as sellers' marks. It's important to note that this collection contains historical images and language that some library users may find harmful, offensive, or inappropriate. The Jay T. Last collection is an archive of printed paper artifacts that documents American lithographic, social, and business history. The collection began in the early 1970s when physicist and Silicon Valley pioneer, Jay T. Last moved to Southern California and started collecting citrus box labels he found at local flea markets and rummage sales. As his collection grew, Last realized that these labels conveyed important information about commercial printing, graphic design, and social history, and he expanded his collection to include other forms of American visual culture. Today this collection contains more than 250,000 prints, posters, and ephemera of nineteenth and twentieth century American origin and represents works by more than five hundred lithographic companies.
