The Collection includes almost 30 rare 17th- and 18th-century scores of operas and ballets by Jean-Baptiste Lully and his sons. Many of the volumes are 1st editions printed by Christophe Ballard, who held the privilege for music printing under King Louis XIV. Several are 2nd editions, printed by Henri de Baussen or Jean-Baptiste Christophe Ballard. The Collection also contains manuscript copies of operas and one ballet that were probably offered for sale, like the prints, at performances.

Conceived in 1996 as a multimedia thematic catalog of the UNT Music Library's collection of twenty-one first and second editions of operas and ballets by the French Baroque composer Jean-Baptiste Lully, and a nucleus for collecting information useful to anyone studying those works. We have since scanned the scores and present here full-text versions of all of the volumes in the collection. The web site was redesigned in 2005
