Libraries can now provide researchers with access to a distinctive musical archive spanning more than twenty years and encompassing everything from classical traditions to contemporary popular music. Available through EBSCO, Music Index Archive offers indexing for 480 journals and magazines, originally published by Harmonie Park Press and featuring international content from dozens of countries.
The Music Index Archive includes works from notable university presses and music societies & associations. It covers publications from 1949 to 1971, many of which are not available in other music databases. Digitized by Doxie.AI, this extensive collection of historical publications offers meaningful insight for music researchers and helps student performers and those in music education or pedagogy pursue well-rounded research.
The broad range of topics covering the study of music and related fields include acoustics & sound, choral & vocal music, classical music, ethnomusicology, folk & traditional music, music composition, music education, music history, music industry & trade, music instruction, music theory, music therapy, musical theater, musicology, popular music and sound technology.
Doxie.AI’s CEO Vijay Singh says “We’re proud to support the preservation of this remarkable body of musical literature by digitizing the Music Index Archive for modern discovery and use. Partnering with EBSCO to bring more than two decades of diverse, international music publications to researchers ensures that these important works remain accessible for generations to come.”
EBSCO Senior Vice President Research Databases Dave Mangione notes, “The Music Index Archive brings unprecedented depth and historical perspective to music research, giving libraries the ability to offer scholars access to rare and influential publications not found in other databases. This collection strengthens EBSCO’s commitment to supporting comprehensive, global music scholarship and enhances the Music Index suite with an essential resource for educators, performers and researchers alike.”
