  Sheet Music, 1870-1885: About the Collection
Though the Library's music holdings were substantial it was not until 1896 that the Library's "Music Department", as it was then called, was established.
The bound up piles of music on the floor are undoubtedly part of the vast numbers of copyright deposits that formed the nucleus of the Library's music collections and which, taken as a whole, constitute one of the Library's greatest treasures.
Though the Music Division possesses many great musical treasures and rarities, it can still be argued that the items deposited for copyright (now numbering in the millions) make up the heart of the collection, and are, in the aggregate, perhaps the greatest treasure of all.
