Location

The Early Music Society library is located off the recital hall on the second floor in the Maritime Conservatory of the Performing Arts (MCPA), 6199 Chebucto Rd., Halifax.

The Library Catalogue is available for viewing or download (pdf) here. Copies may also be ordered in print form for $5 each.

A sub-catalogue of music for viola da gamba is available for viewing or download (pdf) here. Note that the music is listed by increasing complexity of parts, so the list repeats alphabetically several times.
