Worksheet 16 considered Collected Editions, and briefly compared Collected Editions and Historical Sets and Series. Worksheet 16 pointed out that in the Library of Congress classification system, these have call numbers beginning with M3 (Collected Editions) and M2 (Historical Sets and Series).

Worksheet 16 also introduced the two very useful reference book that assist in using Collected Editions and Historical Sets and Series: George R. Hill, and Norris L. Stephens, Collected Editions, Historical Series & Sets, & Monuments of Music: A Bibliography..., 1997, and Anna Harriet Heyer's Historical Sets, Collected Editions, and Monuments of Music..., 1980.

1. List eleven (11) sets of Historical Sets and Series, of which the Acadia Library has at least five (different) volumes.
   Give a short titles for each. [It is not necessary to give the complete title of each set.]
   

Some collected works of individual composers are contained in one or more volumes of larger historical sets and series (such as Recent Researches in the Music of the Baroque Era, Musica Britannica, and others). Acadia University Library has some of these.

[Hill and Stephens, Collected Editions, Historical Series & Sets, &Monuments of Music: A Bibliography, provides lists of the individual volumes of Historical Sets & Series.
