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. |

Was für eine faszinierende, wunderschöne Stadt! Während der Tagung, konnten wir ein „Rundum-sorglos-Paket“ genießen.
The first IAML Congress Diary has reached us from Ruprecht Langer, Head of the German Music Archive, German National Library:
Since 2018’s IAML took place in my hometown, Leipzig, this year’s IAML in Kraków was in fact the second conference I attended. But since it was the first abroad, I’d like to share a few impressions about this very one. In seven words:
The conference was a thoroughly excellent experience.
