Throughout this site are many facts about ragtime composers, performers, publishers, pieces, events, etc. Given the format of the web I have chosen to not put marked citations for sources of many facts because it would create a heavy quantity of hyper links, or make formatted text difficult to read due to all the footnote citations. Also, some of the same facts come from multiple sources, and much of this is also original discovery from non-authored references indigenous to the ragtime era. So in an effort to be inclusive and not ignore many of these useful sources and their authors, I have assembled this global bibliography and reference of sources.

Wherever possible I have linked the name of the source to either that source or something that references it, sometimes through a link at Amazon or a similar on-line vendor. You can also look up many of these items at your local library, or through library exchange programs. Also echoed here are many on-line music archives which are further used as reference sources since they are useful for repertoire and copyright dates, sometimes with useful textual hints on a composer as well. If you have any further questions on any of these, please click on my head in the top frame and email me.
