SFSMA has just completed a project undertaken with the American Research Center at the University of Colorado-Boulder to link to each individual file in their Grauman’s Theater Scores Collection, which they recently digitized. There are more than 3,000 files, and you can find these complete orchestral parts by searching for “AMRC” or “Grauman.”
