I have a collection of 300-400 sheets of music, which contains Victorian and other sheet music, some of which have hand-coloured beautifully illustrated covers by the top sheet music artists of the day. Thanks D |

In the FAQ for the site they make this statement: The sheet music included in this site is dated between 1850 and 1920 and to our knowledge is in the public domain, meaning that it may be copied and performed without paying royalties to the original author. However, persons wishing to perform, broadcast, or publish this material must assume all responsibility for identifying and satisfying any claimants of literary property rights or copyrights. The music is intended for personal, research, or educational use only. For these purposes, you may reproduce (print, make copies, or download) materials from this web site without prior permission, on the condition that you provide proper attribution of the source in all copies (Historic American Sheet Music Project, Duke University Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library). |
