We take as our starting point the European and 	African origins of American culture, selecting items which document the music of our national vernacular culture. From the 	18th to early 20th century music was disseminated largely in printed form: sheet music, songsters, broadsides, instrumental 	instruction books and song anthologies. After 1920 recorded sound gained dominance. The Center's collection reflects this 	change in the commodification of music."
