The Répertoire International des Sources Musicales (RISM, English ''International Inventory of Musical Sources'', German ''Internationales Quellenlexikon der Musik'') is an international non-profit organisation, founded in Paris in 1952, with the aim of comprehensively documenting extant sources of music all over the world.〔Rita Benton, "Répertoire International des Sources Musicales," ''The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians,'' 2nd edition, 2002, vol. 21, p. 194. ISBN 1-56159-239-0〕 It is the largest organisation of its kind and the only entity operating globally to document written musical sources. Shortly after its founding, A.H. King called RISM "one of the boldest pieces of long-term planning ever undertaken for the source material of any subject in the humanistic field."〔Alec Hyatt King, "The Music Librarian, his tasks, national and international," ''Fontes Artis Musicae'' 6 (1959): 54; quoted in Benton, 195.〕 The musical sources recorded are manuscripts or printed music, writings about music and libretti. They are stored in libraries, archives, monasteries, schools and private collections. RISM establishes ''what'' exists and ''where'' it is kept. RISM is recognised among experts as the key place for documenting music sources all over the world. The work of RISM in compiling a comprehensive index fulfills a twofold purpose: for one, music documents are protected from loss, and for another, they are made available to scholars and performing musicians. == Organisation == One or several RISM working groups in more than 35 countries take part in the project. Around 100 individuals from those working groups catalogue the musical sources preserved in their countries. They pass their results on to the RISM Zentralredaktion (Central Editorial Office) in Frankfurt am Main, where the entries are edited and published.〔International Association of Music Libraries (IAML): (Joint projects and assisted publications )〕 RISM working groups are currently active in the following countries and cities: * Australia: Adelaide * Austria: Innsbruck, Salzburg and Vienna * Belarus: Minsk * Belgium: Brussels and Louvain * Brazil: Bahia, Brasília, Campinas, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo * Canada: London (Ontario) * Croatia: Zagreb * Czech Republic: Prague * Denmark: Copenhagen * Estonia: Tallinn * Finland: Åbo/Turku * France: Paris * Germany: Dresden and Munich * Greece: Thessaloniki * Hungary: Budapest * Ireland: Waterford * Italy: Milan and Rome * Japan: Tokyo * Latvia: Riga * Lituania: Vilnius * Netherlands: The Hague * Norway: Trondheim * Poland: Gdansk, Lublin, Warsaw, Wrocław * Portugal: Lisbon * Romania: Bucharest * Russia: Moscow and St Petersburg * Slovakia: Bratislava * Slovenia: Ljubljana * Spain: Barcelona * South Korea: Seoul * Sweden: Stockholm * Switzerland: Bern * Ukraine: Kiev and Lviv * United Kingdom: London * United States: Cambridge (Massachusetts) * Turkey: Istanbul The RISM Zentralredaktion and the working groups in Germany are projects of the Academy of Sciences and Literature in Mainz.〔(Academy of Sciences and Literature, Mainz ) (in German)〕 The other working groups receive independent funding in their own countries. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Répertoire International des Sources Musicales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
