Welcome to the Violin Research Guide! Here you will find Libraries and online resources on the violin intended for study as well as appreciation. At the page Strings Resources, view general works about all the instruments of the string family, bowed and plucked. Then, at Find Books, learn strategies for finding books in OneSearch and scroll through recommended books about the violin, its history, famous performers, and repertoire. At Find Scores, see locations for violin music on library shelves and search for notable works by selected composers. Find information on historical stringed instruments and performance practice at the page Historical Strings. Know of a resource not included in this guide? Feel free to email the Music Librarian and they will add it. Or, suggest an item for purchase, if it is a resource not currently owned by University Libraries.
