The Republic Pictures Music Archives is a valuable research tool for the study of music composed and recorded for motion pictures by a studio operating during the 1039s, 40s, and 50s. It is also useful in examining the works at Republic of film composers such as Max Steiner, Elmer Bernstein, Victor Young, Nathan Scott, William Lava, and Mort Glickman. The more than one thousand boxes of piano-conductor scores and parts, together with more than seven thousand recordings comprise a nearly complete studio music archives. Many original pencil sketches as well as finished scores with parts and cue sheets facilitate a detailed study on many key films scored by the composers who worked at various times for Republic Pictures.

1010 boxes.
