*** Updates to the IAML website (including account creation, profile changes, posts, comments, and report submission) are currently on hold as we migrate to a new website. We will provide further updates after 17 January. *** 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. |
The MusRef database, developed and maintained by David Day (Brigham Young University), has received a major update: over 3,000 new reference sources (both print and online) have been added to the music and dance databse.

I had the pleasure of participating in the celebration of the 100:th anniversary of the Nydahl Collection (The Foundation for the Advancement of Music Culture). The Nydahl Collection has an informative website from which I have compiled the text.
