The CIMCIM Bibliography

Recommendations for the Conservation of Musical Instruments: an
Annotated  Bibliography, CIMCIM Publications No.1, 1993

At a meeting of the musical instrument collections committee (CIMCIM)
of the International Council of Museums a need was expressed for a
publication which addressed the ethical and philosophical approaches
to the treatment and use of musical instruments in public collections.
This publication resulted from those discussions and provides a short
list of essential readings in musical instrument conservation. It is
intended primarily for those in charge of museum collections who, for
whatever reason, are unable to get access to the literature. The
document provides brief abstracts of 20 texts, and also provides lists
of publishers' addresses, and provides an excellent starting point for
readings on this subject.
