The Priscilla Bowman Collection was gifted to LaBudde Special Collections in May 2012 by her daughter, Marcia Bowman Hunt. Bowman was a gifted, Kansas City-born jazz and rhythm-and-blues singer. Photographs include publicity, performance, and personal shots of Bowman, music colleagues and family in Kansas City and elsewhere, spanning the 1940s through the 1980s.

Our massive Sheet Music Collection consists of tens of thousands of commercially published titles broken down into six imprint types. Each sheet music title belongs to a specific imprint collection. These digital titles are restricted due to copyright; this digital collection is a representative sample of what we hold physically on campus at UMKC Libraries.
