The National Library of Scotland and its predecessor library, the Library of the Faculty of Advocates, received its legal deposit privilege in 1710 through the Statute of Anne. In the early days, the Library of the Faculty of Advocates did not collect much music and, since very few early acquisition archives have survived, it is difficult to reconstruct what the early uptake of legal deposit of music would have been. This article provides a brief historical overview and discusses the various strategies, such as shelfmarks and library stamps, used to identify early legal deposit music in the National Library of Scotland.
