Early printed and manuscript music
The following table presents, in two alphabetical sequences, the contents of the microfilm collection
published, in thirty-two reels of microfilm, by World Microfilms Publications. The microfilm collection, for
which a more detailed catalogue can be found in the Bibliography Section at shelfmark LM 1.97 WES, is
shelved in the Microform Room of the J. B. Morrell Library. The microfilm readers are also situated in the
Microform Room and the reader printer, from which copies from the microfilms can be made, is to be found
adjacent to the Photocopying Office on the first floor of the Library.
The two sequences in the table are, respectively, anonymous works arranged alphabetically by title and
works with ascribed composers arranged alphabetically by composer and then title.
