Catalog of Copyright Entries for the USA
Free public domain sheet music from IMSLP / Petrucci Music Library
This category consists of Music volumes from the Catalog of Copyright Entries for the United States which are presently available at the Internet Archive. Unless otherwise specified a volume will consist of new copyright registrations.
- Warning for searchers:
- These scanned volumes have been poorly converted to searchable text. For example composers Gustav and Imogen Holst, have been universally converted to Hoist. It is thus important to search on a number of different terms, including composer, title and publisher before concluding that a registration is absent from these listings. It is also advisable to utilize the volume's own name index when available.
