Muhlenberg College Seal, 1848: Stained glass window in the Gideon F. Egner Memorial Chapel, Muhlenberg College, Allentown, PA
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.
