The Library has a number of other microfilms of early printed music, and various individual manuscripts from different sources. The Music Faculty Library also possesses a considerable number of microfilms which will soon be transferred to the central Bodleian. Some of these are included in SOLO but not yet all of them. More detail of these additional films will be added to these pages in due course.

If you are looking for a microfilm of a manuscript not covered by the sets of films described in these pages, please contact the Music subject librarian.
