The Edwin A. Fleisher Collection of Orchestral Music

[jsnfmn]

While searching for specific items in Worldcat, I am often surprised how often the Free Library of Philadelphia shows up as having extremely rare and desirable full scores to pieces that I can't find anywhere else. Upon further investigation, not only does the library itself seem to have an unusually great selection of scores in regular circulation, but they also house the above exhaustive collection, more info at http://libwww.freelibrary.org/collectio ... .cfm?id=14. I have wished multiple times that I lived in Philadelphia just to be able to copy any PD item they have in their collection, by appointment only of course. Has any one here taken advantage of this? I wonder if they might be interested in some kind of partnership in order to make their rare materials more accessible?
