The Netherlands branch of IAML (NVMB) is established in 1996. Founding members of the NVMB were Bèr Deuss, Dick van den Hul, Joop Meuleman and Martie Severt. Before 1996 music librarians in the Netherlands were united via the NBLC Sectie Muziekbibliotheekwerk.
The NVMB is open to anyone who works with music collections. Our aim is to promote contact and cooperation between music librarians. We strive to share our knowledge and to foster our joint expertise.
NVMB Network meetings are organized two times a year, with presentations, meet & greets, and guided tours.
We meet each time in a different city, in a different library. Additional online meetings are optional.
Our Newsletter is published three times a year on our website.
The NVMB has institutional and individual members.
Martie Severt was appointed honorary member of the NVMB in 2022.
