Statistical Summary
(Total Number of Scores in the Collection:
2531)
The following statistics provide some insight into the distribution of materials in the collection.
Note: There is overlap between the totals for adjacent decades due to the uncertainty of some publication dates. For instance, the date of publication for a work may be stated as being between 1835-1842. Such a work would be counted twice: under the decades of the 1830s and 1840s. Therefore, the totals stated at the top of each category, reflecting the actual totals, will not match the sums achieved by totaling all the decades.
