Music manuscripts, letters, and related items collected by Hunt. Most of the items are of American origin, and reflect Hunt's wide-ranging interests in sacred and secular music. The music manuscripts include sheet music for vocal and instrumental scores, part-books, bound orchestral scores, and miscellaneous music volumes. The collection is particularly strong in hymn scores, verses, and studies. Also, a box of material relating to Stephen Foster.
