At the core of what we do at the British Library is our mission to make our collections available to the public. In line with these values there are over 300 Music Manuscripts from our collections available in high resolution on our Digitised Manuscripts Portal: bl.uk/manuscripts
 In the past weeks we have uploaded some more, which we are proud to share here. All the manuscripts are Autograph.
