This is so cool.
I stumbled across it yesterday and have been geeking out ever since. It's a searchable directory of late 19th and early 20th century sheet music from several university archives, with some items available for download as a PDF. If you put "ukulele" in the advanced keyword search there are quite songs with ukulele arrangements. (Not all of them have online access, but plenty do.) Of course, the given chord diagrams are often for tunings that aren't in much use, but the chords themselves are useful. The first thing I looked for/found was one of my favorite songs to sing, "Coffee In the Morning and Kisses In the Night."
I was a little overwhelmed with the prospect of trying to arrange that one myself.
Anyway, I thought some others might want to have fun with this. Share your favorite finds!
