About Notes

Notes: the Quarterly Journal of the Music Library Association, was established in 1934 (1st series: 1934–1942), and began its 2nd series in 1943. The journal has appeared consistently since then, offering its readers interesting, informative, and well-written articles in the areas of music librarianship, music bibliography and discography, the music trade, and on certain aspects of music history.
