Scope and Contents

Series 16 contains approximately 11,500 pieces of sheet music and other materials documenting thedevelopment of and popular attitudes towards country, western, and folk music in the United States. Thedates always refer to copyright of the music and not to the subject on the cover, songwriter's life, or otherevents. There are 78 boxes of sheet music and 16 boxes of ephemera. The ephemera section is arrangedin the same subseries order as the music listing, described following the container list, with two additionalsubseries.

Subseries 1, Individual Male Entertainers, 1911-1983. Many entertainers were parts of groups from timeto time, or had a spouse who was part of the team. With this in mind, it is important to search undersubseries 2 and 3 if a name is not found in this subseries. Real names are used in place of stage names;i.e., "Uncle Ezra" is under Pat Barrett and "The Arkansas Woodchopper" is under Luther Ossenbrink.

Subseries 2, Individual Female Entertainers, 1902-1986, undated. If an individual's more significant workwas with others, she would be in subseries 3, Groups. Example: Dale Evans and Roy Rogers are insubseries 3.

Subseries 3, Duos and Groups, 1910-1981, undated. The names in this section are listed in alphabeticalorder by the group name; i.e., "Lulu Belle and Scotty" is under "Lulu." Also see subseries 1 and 2 orindividual names.

Subseries 4, The West, 1839-1984. The earliest copyright of this Series is "A Western Refrain (WestwardHo!)" in this subseries. Categories are: Covered Wagon and Wagon Train, "Home on the Range," MovieCowboys and Showmen, Rodeo and Round-up, General Songs, and Folios. Note that folios specific to acategory will be in that category.
