Staff at the Archive of Recorded Sound have, for the first time, created a complete inventory of the ARS Sheet Music Collection. This culmination of over 13,000 published titles was generated through various donations during the Archive's first 60 years (1958-2018). The vast majority of titles within the collection are popular music scores published in the United States along with publications from England, France, Italy, and elsewhere.

The Stanford Music Library has begun digitizing portions of its vast sheet music holdings. This effort will offer immediate remote access to sheet music in various genres, including piano arrangements and transcriptions, popular song sheets, and (coming soon) art songs and arias. All works included are in the public domain and as such are freely accessible to anyone through the Searchworks catalog. The new digital records allow for a variety of on-screen viewing options and the ability to download files, while protecting the often fragile physical print.
