Unique music sources - prints and old prints, music manuscripts and autographs of authors from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the 20th century - are now available online thanks to digitization. The invaluable library resources of a dozen or so institutions from all over Poland can now be researched without leaving home in the new portal ‘The Heritage of Polish Music in Open Access’:https://polish.musicsources.pl/pl
The project has just ended. It is an extension of the ‘Chopin Heritage in Open Access’ project already finalized by the Fryderyk Chopin Institute. The final result is a portal enabling searching of sources, viewing and downloading them, and performing music analysis.
Over 25,000 documents and over 6,500 digital transcriptions of unique music sources, most of them previously unpublished, have been placed in free access. The clear interface of the website allows you to easily and quickly find interesting materials on the basis of, among others, where they are stored, type of document and subject matter
