This collection holds digitised images of some of the world's oldest surviving volumes of printed music.

Early Music Online is the result of a pilot project in which more than 300 volumes of 16th-century music from the British Library were digitised from microfilm.

The project was funded by JISC as part of the Rapid Digitisation programme 2011.

The digitised content is copyright © The British Library Board, and is made available for non-commercial use under the JISC Collections Open Education User Licence version 1.0.
