I have been working for quite a while now, having scanned very old public domain sheet music I own. What's been done so far is now available in a Drop Box; hundreds of old ballo liscio sheet music (almost exclusively published between 1880s and early 1920s) scanned from my library and elsewhere. Among the Italian American publishers in Philadelphia, Providence, New Jersey, New York City etc) you will find Century, Cardilli, de Stefano, di Bella, Pagani, Paolilli, Schettino et. al. I believe all titles are no longer in publication and without copyright. The publishers have gone out of business many decades ago and stopped publishing. Trios are arranged for mandolin 1 and 2, plus guitar. Currently, I have close to 400 titles that can be accessed and downloaded. Yes, for FREE!
Right now, I can and have also uploaded links to my Facebook page (Sheri Mignano Crawford) for access and for easy download but you'd have to friend me, I think, to get the files via that social media. I'm including a couple of links here just to see if this works out.
Below is the first link to a list of titles by publisher (Excel spreadsheet)
the second link is to the Cardilli collection --so far
the third is to di Bella. --so far
Feel free to ask me any questions in this forum. I'd be glad to reply.
HERE'S the link to see the titles of the sheet music currently available.

I'd love to get some feedback as to how successful you are at getting into the files etc.
Grazie, Sheri
