This is our online database of the catalogued music related publications at ARC. To date it is primarily books, catalogs and songbooks — more than 9,500 titles. We have also indicated which books have already been scanned in conjunction with the Internet Archive in San Francisco. The entire collection to be entered includes books, catalogs and pamphlets (18,000), songbooks (3,000), sheet music (23,000), periodicals/magazines/fanzines (50,000) and hundreds of thousands of clippings, photographs and press kits.
The “collection” field tells you who donated the item (when we know). The search box does a find in all fields you see, and some you don’t — so you can also search by genre, style, geographical region or country. Hit the field name to sort by that field, A-Z and Z-A. The scan box indicates that the book is available to read here at the ARC and available electronically, in a variety of formats to the book’s donor, authors and publishers.
