Jennifer Ward, editor in the RISM Editorial Center (Germany), held two online presentations in May about the RISM project (Répertoire International des Sources Musicales).
The first presentation, on May 17th 2021, focused on RISM aims and objectives, the catalogue with data on historical musical sources around the world, as well as possibilities of its application in the field of digital humanities and digital musicology.
A few days later, on May 20th, Jennifer Ward presented RISM’s central program MUSCAT, with software for cataloging of diverse musical sources, such as manuscripts, printed music, libretti and treatises.
The presentations were held on the initiative of prof. Ivana Perković, and attended by Faculty of Music teachers, students and the Head of the Faculty’s Library.
Introduction to RISM and establishing contact with its editorial presents an excellent grounds for inclusion of Serbian musicologists and librarians into this international project and presentation of Serbian musical heritage on the international platform with free access (https://opac.rism.info).
