Indiana State Library

Indiana Division owns a collection of approximately 1,600 pieces of sheet music with an Indiana connection. These pieces date from 1840 (a campaign song for William Henry Harrison) through the 1960s, with the bulk of the music dating from 1890 through 1950. The collection includes a wide variety of pieces: "booster" songs promoting a particular city or railroad stop, centennial songs from state-wide, county, and city celebrations, religious works, college songs, and songs based on the literary works of well-known Indiana authors such as James Whitcomb Riley.
