The Sheet Music Collection was acquired in 1961 through the joint efforts of Lloyd Engelbrecht, Pierce Grove (Acquisitions Librarian), and Dr. Eugene Vest (English Department). It was originally part of a large private collection owned by William Holmes of Chicago. The books (on music, literature, and fiction as well as some by and about Scandinavian authors) were cataloged and added to the regular library collection. The music material, which consisted mostly of popular song sheets circa 1890 to 1928 and some classical scores, is housed in Special Collections.
