- Abstract
- The Library of Congress and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City collaborated to microfilm the silent film music scores and musical cue sheets held by both institutions. For a time, the scores and cue sheets from the MoMA collection were on deposit at the Library of Congress. They were returned to MoMA in early 2011. The Library of Congress retains a copy of the microfilm.
Music for Silent Films 1894-1929: a Guide, compiled and with an introduction by Gillian B. Anderson, serves as the finding aid to the microfilms of both the MoMA collection and the silent film music holdings at the Library of Congress. - Contents Note
