RISMZentralredaktion

RISM—Répertoire International des Sources Musicales (International Inventory of Musical Sources)—is an international, non-profit organization that aims to comprehensively document extant musical sources worldwide: manuscripts, printed music editions, writings on music theory, and libretti that are found in libraries, archives, churches, schools, and private collections.

RISM’s over 1.4 million records can be searched at no cost through the RISM Catalog (https://opac.rism.info/) and RISM Online (https://rism.online/). 

RISM was founded in Paris in 1952 and is the largest and only global organization that documents written musical sources. RISM records what exists and where it can be found.

This channel hosts videos from our conferences and other events, tutorials for the RISM Catalog, and training videos for our contributors. The RISM Zentralredaktion (Editorial Center) coordinates the RISM project and is located in Frankfurt, Germany.
