It is this year that the Polish National Branch of IAML celebrates its 50^th Anniversary. The Branch was officially established at the IAML Conference in Bologna in 1972.

We share an interview between Maaria Harviainen and Pia Shekhter that was originally published in Intervalli: Musiikkikirjastoalan yhteinen aikakausjulkaisu (issue 2, 2022) from IAML Finland.

The Liesbeth Hoedemaeker-Cohen Fund for IAML Congress Travel was established in Liesbeth’s honour on 24 February 2017. The H. Robert Cohen / RIPM Fund for IAML Congress Travel was established in 2019 on the occasion of RIPM’s fortieth birthday, in recognition of RIPM’s contribution to international scholarship and of those who created and contribute to it. Usually offered annually, the cash awards from both Funds will be used to help support travel costs (including transportation, accommodation, meals, etc.) to attend the annual IAML congress.

An international conference was held 7-9 October 2022 acknowledging the 70^th anniversary of RISM (Répertoire International des Sources Musicales). It was a great honour for me to extend IAML’s warm congratulations in a short speech at the opening session. As the President of IAML, I am very proud of the fact that our Association was one of the two founders of the RISM project in 1952, together with the International Musicological Society (IMS).
