Croatia, report 2005

The Croatian National Branch of IAML (Hrvatska udruga muzičkih knjižnica, arhiva i dokumentacijskih centara) was founded in 2004. In the first year, it had 10 individual members, and in 2005, membership increased with additional 5 institutional members.

Four meetings were held in 2004, during which the establishment of the branch was discussed, and a web site (http://www.humkad.hr) was created. The branch introduced itself to other Croatian music societies.

In 2005, the group became a IAML national branch. It is currently putting its efforts into improving its relationship with the music archives: national, church and broadcasting (because current members are mainly music librarians) and supporting the marketing of sheet music, making better connections between music publishers and dealers, and trying to encourage them to open shops specializing in sheet music.
