Collections
General Music Collection
The Music Library and Music Media Center collections strive to
support the researchers and performers in the music and other
departments at Duke, as well as the recreational performing and
listening needs of the broader Duke community. Our collection
contains approximately 120,000 print items (books, scores, and
journals), 25,000 sounds recordings in various formats, and 13,000
microforms. Please note that the majority of our LP recordings are
not in the online catalog; please use the card catalog in the Media
Center. Due to space limitations approximately 25-30% of our print
collection is housed at the LSC with a 24-hour delivery time.
Subject areas especially
well-represented in the collections are:
- Keyboard music (monographs as well as scores)
- Musical instruments
- Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (1809-1847)
- The Strauss Family (Johann Sr. and Jr., Eduard, and Joseph)
- Viennese printing and publishing in the 19th century
- British music in general
- Venetian music in the baroque and early classic periods
- Latin American music
- Music of the Indian subcontinent
