Sheet music reveals much about public opinion and the social and political issues of pre-1923 America. By making this collection available digitally, scholars worldwide will have the ability to study the history of the United States from a unique perspective. Digitizing the sheet music will also help preserve this material since much of the music is in poor and fragile condition. Funding was requested for a pilot project to digitize 40 items of sheet music from a large collection of pre-1923 sheet music. For more information, refer to the final report
