Uncatalogued Music Inventory

Finding Aid

Folger Shakespeare Library has a collection of uncatalogued sheet music and music books, primarily from the 19th and 20th centuries, but also including some from the 18th century. An inventory was made in the 1980s, kept in a binder at the Reading Room desk. It is now available here: Uncatalogued Music Inventory. Some items have since been catalogued, and are available in Hamnet with a bit more description. Please check Hamnet using the call number ranges below.
