Library
An area with links to facsimiles of psalmody and gallery music books. Some may be downloaded free of charge. Others cost the same as it would to photocopy them in a physical library.
Note that the facsimiles are reasonably high-resolution pdf files. As a result, each file is several megabytes in size -- something to consider if you are using a dial-up Internet connection.
