Scope and Contents note
Almost any song in dance rhythm with some syncopation during the 1910s was called ragtime. Most of these sheets have the word "rag" or "ragtime" in the title. The topic of the song could be most anything as long as it was humorous. Some of the items are vocal arrangements of previous instrumental ragtime compositions. Most of the sheets date from the 1910s. (circa 470 items)
