IAMIC -- International Association of Music Information Centres
is a world-wide network of organisations promoting new music. IAMIC has forty members in thirty-six countries (1999). Each Music Information Centre is responsible for documenting and promoting the music of its own country or region, as well as co-operating internationally with other centres and international organisations on issues of common concern.

Music Information Centres are open to the public and have extensive resources to offer. In addition to large libraries of sheet music and sound archives, some centres maintain up-to-date collections of biographical and research material, many issue publications and recordings, and all serve as a focus of musical activity.

Although all Music Information Centres promote new music from their individual countries, the repertoire of their coverage varies from centre to centre.

If you have specific queries about music or musical activities, please contact the music information centre of the country concerned. IAMIC does not maintain a central information bureau, but information can be found on the web sites of our members. The Music Information Centre will be able to assist you, or put you in touch with other organizations.
