content: Contains material in boxes 92-94 and includes an assortment of loose sheets, song advertisements on back covers, and incomplete songs. These materials are generally fragments of larger compositions. Materials arranged loosely in folders. The music is primarily arranged for piano and piano/vocal. The bulk of the material dates from 1889 to 1929, yet a large portion of the materials are undated. Compositions do not relate to a particular subject matter, and in some cases it may be difficult to identify the song.
