Norman Mealy research material on British Library hymn collection, ca. 1980-1987.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122517719

This collection consists of handwritten and photocopied notes compiled by Dr. Mealy during two sabbaticals to research eighteenth century hymnals at the British Library in London, England. The material was collected during the early to mid-1980s and analyzes hymnals published between 1539 and 1795, with the bulk between 1700 and 1795, with an emphasis on collections edited by John Wesley. The collection is composed of index cards and material from notebooks. The cards are either photocopied forms or handwritten notes and contain the tune title, composer, hymnal in which it appears, and date of publication. The majority of cards also include the pattern and opening musical score of the tune. They are arranged by the numerical pattern of the opening tune, alphabetically by composer, and chronologically by publication date. There are also subgroups of cards with hymns composed by John Peck in 1810, as well as cards that are incomplete or were not filed. A last group of undersized cards lists hymn titles from compilations edited by John Wesley. The notebook material consists of photocopied cards and handwritten notes arranged by composer or hymnal title.
