If the work is in the public domain you can request that they scan and post it on their site. They already have hundreds of uniques scores up there. You can also consult the International Music Score Library Project. Not everything there is completely legal, and there are disclaimers. The music world is digital now, so expect to find more and more scores as downloads only. https://urresearch.rochester.edu/handle/1802/291 http://imslp.org/wiki/Main_Page You can also use the Sibley Library at U of Rochester.

I am a music librarian at CPL and I appreciate the mention of our library and collection. I will certainly look into purchasing more of Porter's scores for our collection. I strive to build the collection based on my own knowledge as well as requests from patrons. Please let us know how we can be of assistance. Hello.
