Kirk Collection:
Popular Song Index
(Commercial Sheet Music)
Complete Catalog
All titles have been digitized.
Dated songs through 1923 as well as select no-date titles
are available for downloading from this page
or a contents gateway.
Fair-use restrictions apply to post-1923 materials,
so you must formally request copies
(see e-mail links below).
This index contains popular songs published from ca.1865-1968. The collection consists mostly of 22 x 28 cm. (8 1/2 x 11 in.) pages of commercial sheet music. Pagination varies, and many of the song sheets, particularly the older ones, are fragile. They were used by music and department stores to promote sheet music sales. The entire collection of artist-copy country music, sheet music, and professional/artist song sheets has approximately 7,500 items.
The commercial sheet music holdings, according to the most recent database count, are 2,089. Albeit infrequently, additional songs are sometimes purchased or donated to the collection. As this occurs, the records will be added and made accessible according to the prevailing copyright guidelines (see above).
These songs are housed as part of the Kirk Collection in the Special Collections Department of Cunningham Memorial Library at Indiana State University. An indexed version of the data is also available.
The Kirk Collection contains in excess of 14,000 examples of American popular music in various genres published until as late as 1972. For further information about this index or general questions regarding other collections in or policies of the Special Collections Department, e-mail the department at librbsc@isugw.indstate.edu, use the provided form or call 812/237-2610.
