Our holdings of Non-Western (World) music are smaller and more dispersed throughout Special Collections. You'll find examples of Non-Western music mainly through our book collections, which can be searched via the Catalog and refined using the left-hand menu. Below are examples of Catalog search techniques that help uncover unique items--pay attention to how using subject, language, advanced search, and keywords can help you locate materials!
Archival collections--which can contain books, documents, relics, and audio-visual materials--are described by their finding aids and searchable with keywords. Documentation and recordings of Non-Western music may be captured incidentally even if it is not apparent in the title or by the topic of the collection.
