Abram Samuels Sheet Music Collection

This marvelous collection, gifted to Muhlenberg College in 1991, contains more than 31,000 items of American popular music published between 1900-1965.

The collection is divided into two files. The first, the Composer File, is arranged by composer and then cross-indexed both alphabetically by song title and numerically, according to when the individual title was acquired. The second, the Miscellaneous File, is also cross-indexed by both title and number, and is composed of all sheet music not classified by composer. The indexes enable the user to ascertain quickly the location of a particular title.

The composers collected are listed below. Music not generated by these composers has been collected. It is located in the Miscellaneous File, and can be searched by title.
