Abstract

Since its launch in 1988 the IPM has built up a substantial collection of materials relating to popular music. The collection is composed of several contributory collections—from local, national and international donors—spanning a wide range of popular music genres and formats and almost the entire history of recorded sound. By far the largest element (in terms of numbers of items and physical space) is the collection of recorded sound which currently consists of some 70,000 items.
