CENTER FOR BLACK MUSIC RESEARCH (CBMR)

The Center for Black Music Research Collection contains materials reflecting many areas of black music including composers, ethnomusicologists, music researchers, music journalists, scores, published music, and audiovisual collections across all genres. These collection guides, or finding aids, provide access to information about held archival special collections. Each guide describes the organization and scope of a collection and offers content information, allowing researchers to discover relevant information.

Many musical works listed in these collection guides are handwritten; those listed with a publisher's name are printed. Please check the guides for more information.
