Abstract
This Researcher Format dataset consists of a collection of CSV (comma-separated value) files containing metadata relating to printed and manuscript sheet music from the British Library Catalogue. It was initially released as part of an Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)-funded collaboration between Royal Holloway University of London and the British Library, entitled "A Big Data History of Music". It is updated annually. The original project data is available here: https://bl.iro.bl.uk/collections/aa6a8a00-7611-4fde-a5f3-84d540d01783
