The Dickinson classification is a library classification scheme used to catalogue and classify musical compositions.
It was developed by George Sherman Dickinson (1886–1964), and published in 1938.
[1] It is used by many music libraries, primarily those at Vassar[2] and Columbia Universities.
It is fully detailed by Carol June Bradley in The Dickinson classification : a cataloguing & classification manual for music; including a reprint of the George Sherman Dickinson Classification of Musical Compositions published by Carlisle Books (1968).
