Music of America on Paper
The Rare Book School (University of Virginia) is offering a workshop this summer titled The Music of America on Paper. Don Krummel will be teaching this workshop 13-17 June 2005 in Charlottesville, Virginia.
From the brochure: "An historical introduction intended both for those with institutional responsibilities for American printed music, and for collectors, performers, and scholars with a personal or professional interest in the subject." Topics include engraving and printing of sheet music, illustrating music covers, bibliographical description, distribution, preservation, and more.

Mary's Pick of the Week
Still tired from this past weekend's handbell festival held at Martin Luther College in New Ulm. It was quite the experience, over 400 handbell and handchime "ringers," organ, assorted brass players (and audience) crammed into the gym!
And naturally, here's a sampling of some handbell materials in the University Libraries:
CD: Ringing Clear: The Art of Handbell Ringing (Music Library CD-1449)
Score: Vandervelde, Janika. Metaphors for handbells and orchestra (Wilson Library Annex Sub-basement (MA theses) MnU-M 80-152
Books: Camp, John Michael Francis. Bell Ringing: Chimes, Carillons, Handbells: The World of the Bell and the Ringer (Music Library 789.5 C15)
McBride, Michael B. and Marva Baldwin. Meeting the National Standards with Handbells and Handchimes (Music Library Quarto MT 711 .M35 2000)
And some web resources:
The American Guild of English Handbell Ringers is a good starting point. This is the organization that sponsors many educational and performance activities in the U.S.
The major bell manufacturers' websites also have some good information: Malmark, Schulmerich, and Whitechapel.
Finally, here are links to a general bell FAQ and miscellaneous information.
