The Lester S. Levy Collection of Sheet Music consists of over 30,000
sheets of American music, and provides a unique window on the social life of
America. The collection spans the years 1780 to 1960, but its strength is its
thorough documentation of 19th-century America through popular music. The
music is arranged by 38 topics, and access is supplemented with a catalog
indexing each song title, composer, author, publisher, lithographer, and first
line. The collection is especially strong in music spawned by military
conflicts from the War of 1812 through World War I, and minstrel music is also
well represented. Other topics include music about the circus; dance; drinking,
temperence, and smoking; fraternal orders; presidents; romantic and sentimental
songs; schools and colleges; and transportation.
The Levy Collection is available for research through through the
Special Collections Department, Milton S. Eisenhower Library, The Johns Hopkins
University, Baltimore, Maryland, 21218, (410) 516-8348.
