About IAMIC

IAMIC - The International Association of Music Information Centres (founded in 1986) is a world-wide network of organisations that document and promote the music of our time. IAMIC currently supports the work of 40 member organisations in 37 countries (2009).

Each of these 'Music Information Centres' promotes and documents the music of its own country of region over a variety of musical genres including contemporary classical music, world music, jazz and popular. Our member organisations manage extensive resources (large libraries of sheet music, recordings, biographical and research materials) and deliver promotional and artistic projects (festivals, concerts, competitions, conferences) to the public.

While each member organisation focuses on the promotion of musical activities in their country or region, IAMIC works to promote international exchange on issues of common concern and brings these organisations together for collective projects.

Every year, IAMIC organises a major conference, hosted in a different country to ensure that most of its members will be able to participate as often as possible. This conference is a benchmark for information sharing and allows the promotion of an international music community.
These conferences are often the starting point for a variety of cross border projects, aiming to promote national musical culture abroad. IAMIC welcomes new members to join the network.

IAMIC Bylaws and Rules of Procedure were adopted in 2009 (according to the Belgian law), and articulate the procedure for Music Information Centres, non-profit organisations and businesses who wish to join.
