Central to the departmental resources is the Music Library, which ranks high among the nation’s music libraries for its scholarly editions, periodicals, early source materials, iconographic aids, microfilms, folk-music collections, and recordings as well as access to major music research databases and thousands of streamed audio and video recordings. In addition, the Southern Folklife Collection (SFC) is one of the nation’s foremost archival resources for the study of American folk music and popular culture.
