Hide Profile

The Glenn and Helen Wilcox Collection of American Religious Tunebooks is only a portion of the total library built by the Wilcoxes. The full collection includes popular music published on small cards during World War II, classical scores and recordings, etc. The religious tunebook holdings were particularly extensive, comprising approximately 1,932 volumes acquired by the Wilcoxes and some 1,490 volumes from the collection of the late Reverend Charles Atkins, a Congregational minister in New Hampshire with whom Glenn Wilcox had co-edited The Southern Harmony . At Atkins's death in the 1970s, his collection passed to the Wilcoxes.

This collection is part of a group of about 300 volumes acquired by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from the Wilcoxes in 1991.
