University of North Carolina: Music Library

In addition to approximately 200 circulating hymnals in our main collection, UNC holds the Don Yoder Collection of American Hymnody. Don Yoder (1921-2015) was an American folklorist who specialized in the Anabaptist religious traditions of Pennsylvania, including the Amish, Mennonites, Quakers, and the Pennsylvania Dutch. His collection of hymnals and tunebooks, originally acquired by the UNC Program in Folklore, is now held by the UNC Music Library. Rich in German language sources, it also includes a selection of important English tunebooks. His papers are held by the Southern Historical Collection in Wilson Library at UNC Chapel Hill. Most of the Yoder collection is digitized.
