From the AIBM-L, the mailing list of the German IAML branch, we have learned that the Archiv Frau und Musik is facing a drastic cut in funding that would threaten the future of this valuable archive.

The Archiv Frau und Musik, located in Frankfurt, Germany, is an important research center and the only one of its kind worldwide. It has been receiving funding from the City of Frankfurt, but this support is slated to be cut beginning in 2014. There is an online petition to show your support for the archive's work:

Dear IAML Members,

The IAML Board would like your feedback about IAML and the IAML conferences. We have a short survey of 10 questions: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WHB57SD (link is external)

We appreciate you taking a few minutes to give us your feedback, so that we can ensure we are guiding IAML in the right direction to meet your needs.

The survey will be open until October 25th.
