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. |
“Mark the Music” — a two-day course for librarians working with music in the Nordic countries was arranged by the Swedish IAML Branch (Svenska musikbiblioteksföreningen) in Gothenburg, 15-16 June. All presentations are now available on the website of the branch.
Terveisiä Riiasta! Outi Valon matkaraportti IAML-kongressista 2017
Matkustin kesäkuussa 2017 Suomen Musiikkikirjastoyhdistyksen myöntämän apurahan avustamana Riikaan, jossa järjestettiin kansainvälinen musiikkikirjastojen, -arkistojen ja kulttuuri-instituutioiden kongressi. IAML Riga tarjosi hienon näyteikkunan siihen, millaiset asiat kentällä mietityttävät, mitä tutkitaan ja mistä keskustellaan.
The following is a list of notable anniversary dates for the third quarter of 2017, compiled by Katharina Jerusalem, intern at the Notenarchiv des Westdeutschen Rundfunks (WDR), Cologne. The first installment can be found here and the second one here.
The following is a group congress diary from the RISM Zentralredaktion (Frankfurt, Germany):
Klaus Keil: Opernsammlung in der Nationalbibliothk
Guido Kraus: Meine schönsten Erfahrungen in Riga
Vivian Tompkins: Digitizing Music Materials
Jennifer Ward: Riga, City of Music
This entry is by Sara Brown (New Zealand), an accompanying person at the 2017 Congress in Riga: Riga and the IAML Congress were a real treat for me. I was there as an ‘accompanying person’ with my partner, Rhys (thanks to Roger Flury and David Vine for the image of carrying around a piano, ready to play at a moment’s notice…). Getting to Riga was an adventure as the distance from Dunedin, New Zealand to Riga is about 17405 km in a straight line according to Google Maps.
