May I listen to the music?
If we have an digital copy of the recording, the score and the recording will both be shown in the bubble. Directions will enable you to play the recording.
I know there's a piece of music written about my home town which I couldn’t find on the map. Why?
The State Library does not hold every piece of music written about Queensland places. We would like you to tell us about music which we do not hold. This map is a work-in-progress and we welcome your input and feedback via the Ask us service.
