Source of Acquisition
The Annie M. Hale Sheet Music Collection was donated to Special Collections in 2008.
Processing Information
The processing, arrangement, and description of the Annie M. Hale Sheet Music Collection commenced in November 2009 and was
completed in February 2010.
This collection contains sheet music collected by Annie McDonald Hale, a Blacksburg, Virginia resident. Additions seem to
have been made by Hale's friend, Willie M. Gates, to whom the collection was bequeathed. The collection includes the sheet
music for many of the most popular songs of the first half of the twentieth century, though a few items date from the late
nineteenth century, and scattered selections dating from the 1960s and 1970s are included as well. Among the selections are
patriotic songs, novelty songs, show tunes, instrumentals, and a few pieces that, by later standards, would be considered
racially offensive. Many of the pieces feature illustrated covers, some including photographs of the vocalists who made the
songs famous.
