- The Edison Sheet Music Collection consists chiefly of American sheet music published in the United States between the years 1830-1930. While a significant minority of the music in the collection is instrumental music, the vast majority is for voice and piano. Notable in this collection are imprints from California dating from before 1850, first editions by Irving Berlin and others, and many European imprints among the instrumental pieces. The bulk of the collection is available online as "Volcano of Delight: Historic Sheet Music 1800-1922”
