They are somewhere in the Sibley library: http://catalog.lib.rochester.edu/vwebv/searchAdvanced but thay are not in the Sibley online section yet: https://urresearch.rochester.edu/viewIn ... ctionId=63

The first thing to do would be to request their scanning by the Sibley librairians.

I've never done that before - how do you go about it if you're not affiliated to the University of Rochester?

Those that are not in Rare Books (Harold, Pauline, Thorgrim) are already in the queue for digitization. I've been pulling opera scores for the past several weeks, and I'm all the way up to the letter K .

Those that are in Rare Books will have to wait until this winter, once our NEH grant money has run out. We only have 1 top down scanner, and it's in constant use for NEH materials (which exclude things in the Vault). Scores with many pages aren't suitable for the flatbed scanner that we have in Rare Books, but once the top down scanner is freed up a bit we hope that we can tackle some of these kinds of things.

Jim, many thanks for this positive reply - I'm really glad to hear that these are in the pipeline.
