German musical archive

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The German Musical Archive was founded in Freiburg in 2010. It is part of the Center for Popular Culture and Music , a research facility of the University of Freiburg . The initiative to found the German Musical Archives came from the Berlin theater scholar Wolfgang Jansen .

Collections and Library

The holdings include books (specialist literature), magazines, an extensive collection of posters, sheet music, text books, sound carriers and a large number of programs and press material. The collection can be used by the public and is available to science and the interested public.

The collections were brought in by private collectors as well as important theater institutions such as the Felix Bloch Erben publishing house (Berlin), Gallissas Theaterverlag and Media Agency (Berlin), Musik und Bühne (Wiesbaden), the Theater des Westens (Berlin) and the composer Guido Masanetz .

Support association

The German Musical Archive is supported by the registered and non-profit association Friends and Sponsors of the German Musical Archive , which was founded in 2011. The members want to support the work of the archive, in particular with the expansion of the collection holdings, the viewing of culturally and historically significant evidence of musical development in German-speaking theater, their research and the dissemination of the knowledge gained.
