Thread Name: Help: Sheet Music Preservation
Subject: RE: Help: Sheet Music Preservation
I've just been given an archive of over 2,000 individual sheet music documents - some individual scores, some selections and collections - dating from the 1890s to the 1960s. Some are a bit brown and crumbly, but most are in reasonable nick, and I don't intend to do anything special with them except keep them in the crates in which they've been stored for a few years. I certainly haven't got the cash to do anything special with them on an individual basis.

They were the property of a professional pianist and consist mainly of selections from shows, revues and operettas, together with individual popular songs of the period. A real treasure trove, which I'm in the process of indexing fully at the moment.
