Archives and libraries have preserved a wide range of knowledge about music since time immemorial. Today, owing to digitisation, they are undergoing massive changes.

Germany has more than 150 museums devoted to musicians, musical instruments, regional music history or ethnomusicology. Among their aims are to collect, conserve and communicate.

Öffentliche Musikbibliotheken stellen Medien für die Musikausübung, das aktive Hören von Musik und zum Lernen bereit. Oft sind sie Partner von Bildungs- und Kultureinrichtungen.
