Contents of the collection

At the heart of Cedom’s music collection are printed and manuscript scores, as well as the archival collections of composers and organisations connected with the country’s musical life and history. Acting as Luxembourg’s central music archive, Cedom also houses, in addition to its legal mandate, a diverse collection of sound recordings, including CDs, DVDs, vinyl records, cassettes and audio tapes.

Furthermore, part of the non-Luxembourgish collection is dedicated to musicology and includes books, scores, periodicals, e-books, digital newspapers and databases, providing access to international research resources.
