Library of the SASA Institute of Musicology

Abstract

This text describes the Library of the Institute of Musicology of the SASA in the continuity of its existence since the foundation of the Institute in 1948 until today. The gradual enlargement of its funds is taken account of, as well as the ways of acquisition of books, journals, scores and sound editions. The structure of the Library is commented upon and its most valuable possessions named. It is also mentioned that the Institute has never had a professional librarian, so that the fellows of the Institute collectively took care of it.
