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.

Update from the IAML President

Soumis par Andrew Justice le 18 Décembre, 2012 - 22:25

Dear IAML Colleagues,

It has been five months since many of us met at the wonderful IAML Conference in Montreal. I hope that you returned home refreshed and stimulated. These conferences are especially valuable for making new contacts and for renewing old friendships. The opportunity to meet and talk in person, rather than via some electronic medium, is one that we treasure, and hope will continue.

The present MCO (Music Centre of Netherlands Radio: 3 orchestras, radio choir, music library, music education department) will cease to exist next year on August 1. There is a budget available after that date for the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and the Radio Choir. There is no budget for the Music Library.

Muziekcentrum van de Omroep library being dismantled

Soumis par Andrew Justice le 28 Novembre, 2012 - 17:11

Recent plans by the Dutch government to dismantle the Broadcast Music Centre in Hilversum (which include abolishing the orchestra and chorus) may result in the disappearance of one of western Europe's largest sheet music libraries.

Unless independent funds can be raised by the MCO library in the next nine months, the scores will be sold to dealers or worse.  Around 5,000 have already been digitized, the rest will be lost.
