A Few Useful Subject Headings:
The SCRC has a collection of bound volumes of sheet music, including both secular and religious music, dating from the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The volumes include patriotic marches, songs, duets, waltzes, reels, and quadrilles, with music for the harpsichord, pianoforte, violin, organ, and piano. Meant for use in the home, these volumes belonged to families such as the Tuckers, Cockes, and Barrauds. An inventory of the Music Collection is available online and researchers may also wish to use the card catalog in the SCRC to find music volumes.
