The mission of the International Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres (IAML) is to broaden access to music resources through international collaboration and advocacy, to support research, learning, performance and enjoyment. Our members open up the vast world of information and repertoire in their daily interactions with students, educators, researchers, musicians, and the general public. We work to promote and preserve musical heritage among diverse cultures as we recognise the importance of music in the lives of the world’s people. |
1e IAML-congres op het Afrikaanse continent: Voor het eerst in de lange historie van IAML-congressen kwamen de internationale muziekinformatie-specialisten samen op het Afrikaanse continent. De compacte Zuid-Afrikaanse universiteitsstad Stellenbosch ontving van 23 tot 28 juni ongeveer 160 professionals uit de muziekbibliotheek- en -archiefwereld.
A number of congress participants took the opportunity to join the post-congress tour to Genadendal, a small town in the Overberg district that was founded by Moravian missionaries from Herrnhut (Saxony) in the 18th century.
The third Congress Diary is from Jitka Malkova (Jiri Mahen Library in Brno, Czech Republic): Bylo o nás skvěle postaráno: Congress IAML (Stellenbosch, 2024)
It is with much sadness that we pass on the news of the very recent death of Malcolm Jones, a former UK & Ireland Branch President (1986-1989) and Honorary Branch member.
The second entry in our Congress Diary series is byy Ruta Almane-Palmbaha (National Library of Latvia).
