RIPM - Retrospective Index to Music Periodicals

Founded in 1980, the Retrospective Index to Music Periodicals/Répertoire international de la presse musicale (RIPM) is one of four international cooperative bibliographic undertakings in music, alongside Le Répertoire international des sources musicales (RISM),
Le Répertoire international de littérature musicale (RILM), and Le Répertoire international d’iconographie musicale (RIdIM). Of the four ‘Rs’ RIPM alone focuses on music and musical life from approximately 1800 to 1950.
RIPM was established to provide access to eighteenth-, nineteenth- and twentieth-century periodical literature dealing with music.
While the importance of this monumental documentary resource has long been recognized by the musicological community, RIPM represents the first effort to undertake and to coordinate retrospective periodical indexing on an international scale.
