I found this, and I am in love. So many old scores!

Those of you who like jazz might find it particularly useful, but all types are represented as well.
From the site:
" The Louisiana Sheet Music Collection is comprised of sheet music published in, or with topical relevance to, Louisiana (with an emphasis on New Orleans). Many important local composers are represented, including Basile Bares, Eugene Chassaignac, Edouard Dejan and Louis Moreau Gottschalk as well as several interesting, but lesser known, nineteenth-century composers. The collection covers 100 years in the history of local publishing (1838-1938) and represents a wide range of styles of popular and vernacular music, including Creole songs, nineteenth-century dance music, Confederate anthems, Mexican and Cuban danzas and danzon, ragtime, blues, and jazz."

Thanks, AimeeO! I love these sites as well, and often use the Lester Levy collection at Johns Hopkins or the Duke University library of American Music. Another place to spend hours on the internet finding more music than I can get to It's like Christmas!
