• Washington DC (USA), Library of Congress
  From 1914 through 1920 the Library of Congress acquired over 14,000 pieces of sheet music relating to what ultimately became known as the First World War, with the greatest number coming from the years of the United States’ active involvement (1917-1918) and the immediate postwar period.  America’s entry into the war came at a time when popular songwriting and the music publishing industry, centered in New York’s Tin Pan Alley, was at its height and a new musical form known as “jazz” was emerging.  The sheet music collection represents the intersection of this rich output of popular song and the consciousness of a nation at war that was itself emerging, as a major world power.
  In addition to commercially published songs, the collection also contains “music of the people” – the work of amateurs in vanity press editions and unpublished manuscripts.  The essay “World War I Sheet Music at the Library of Congress: America’s War, as Viewed by Publishers and the Public” discusses the historical context of the collected songs and their reflection of American society during the war.
• Library and Archives Canada
  The First World War is often described as the crucible in which Canada came of age, in which a colony became a nation. The performance of Canadian troops, particularly Sir Arthur Currie’s Canadian Corps, a unified Canadian unit operating extremely effectively under Canadian command, certainly helped to validate the idea of Canadian nationhood in the eyes of the world.
• Providence (RI, USA), Brown University Library Center 
  The World War I digital sheet music collection is drawn from the Sheet Music Collection at the John Hay Library. It is composed of over 1,800 titles that relate in some way to the events of World War I, and the impact of that war on American society. There are patriotic songs, songs relating to specific military units, romantic songs of love and loss, comic songs, and songs that look to the war’s end.
  The World War I sheet music provides a wealth of information about America’s participation in the Great War. Access to the digital collection is by keyword search or by browsing creators and contributors, titles, subjects, and publishers.
  All pages of the sheet music have been digitized: covers, text and notation pages, and back covers with advertisements.
• Duke University Libraries
  Provides access to digital images for over 3,000 pieces from the collection, published in the United States between 1850 and 1920. […] The sheet music chosen for digital reproduction represents a wide variety of music types including bel canto, minstrel songs, protest songs, sentimental songs, patriotic and political songs, plantation songs, Civil War songs, spirituals, dance music, songs from vaudeville and musicals, “Tin pan alley” songs, and songs from World War I.
• Mississippi State University Libraries
  Digital collection of War songs (Charles Templeton Sheet Music Collection).
  In order to galvanize American might during World War I, President Woodrow Wilson turned to New York’s Tin Pan Alley for help. Some war songs were written out of pure patriotic conviction, while others were more “made-to-order.” Irving Berlin was among the leaders in patriotic songs, as he was drafted into the U.S. Army and stationed at Camp Upton, on Long Island. While in the army, he was commissioned to write a musical, Yip, Yip, Yaphank (1918), performed by army personnel as a benefit to build a service center at Camp Upton. The musical included the hit song (sung by Berlin) “Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning”. The sheet music collection is part of a larger collection amassed by Charles Templeton, Sr. which also includes music players and recordings. A large portion of these pieces are in the public domain (not copyrighted) and are available for download directly from the site. Some restricted titles are available upon request.
