The 50th anniversary celebration of the Norwegian IAML Branch
Norsk musikkbiblioteksforening celebrates 50 years
Music brings people together, and IAML membership supports our aim to make music internationally accessible through acquisition and lending, preservation and digitization, cataloguing and bibliography, and documentation and research. Moreover, most music librarians and archivists serve as educators, opening up the vast world of information and repertoire during their daily interactions with students, faculty members, researchers, musicians, and the general public. We work internationally on multiple fronts to promote and protect musical heritage among diverse cultures, because the importance of music in the lives of the world's peoples is something we truly cherish. |

On December 14, 2022, IAML became a sponsor of the Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online (SUCHO) initiative with a donation of 1,000 Euros. Since its launch on March 1, 2022, SUCHO has brought together over 1,500 volunteers to create high-fidelity web archives of around 5,000 Ukrainian cultural heritage websites, amassing over 50 TB of data.
Today, the first day of 2023, I send you my very best wishes for the coming year!
The October-December 2022 issue (Vol. 69, no. 4) of Fontes is now available online via Project Muse. IAML members can access the issue on the IAML website.
It is this year that the Polish National Branch of IAML celebrates its 50th Anniversary. The Branch was officially established at the IAML Conference in Bologna in 1972.
