Musical Acoustics Research Library online!

If you're interested in the field of musical acoustics you'll definitely want to check out this resource from Stanford: the Musical Acoustics Research Library.

I found out about MARL when I received an email with this press release. The collection is broken up into four parts: a collection of material from the Catgut Acoustical Society, and collections of materials from three well-known acousticians.

Much of the material has been digitized, allowing anyone to peruse the correspondence between colleagues, drafts of articles and the ephemera contained in the collection.

According to this post, the collection is completely digitized, but there seems to be some parts which are not available online.  I'm not sure if that's due to copyright, or if there are plans to post the rest of the collection online in the future. In any case, what is online right now is a great resource for musical acoustics and also a neat look into how scientists collaborated with each other from the 1960s through the late 1980s and 1990s.
