The Digital Libraries for Musicology (DLfM) conference presents a venue specifically for those working on, and with, Digital Library systems and content in the domain of music and musicology. DLfM welcomes contributions related to any aspect of digital libraries and musicology, including topics related to musical archiving and retrieval, cataloguing and classification, musical databases, special collections, music encodings and representations, computational musicology, or the application of music information retrieval (MIR) to musicology (see TOPICS, below).
REGISTRATION
DLfM attendance costs for 2026 are payable to IAML. The daily rate for attending only DLfM is 50€. DLfM attendees who plan to attend the full week of IAML will pay the IAML member rate. Attendance registration via IAML will open soon.
DLfM paper and poster presentation costs are in addition to the attendance registration. These costs are calculated on a per-presentation basis (only one author per presentation needs to register the presentation) and are :
Paper presentation: $85
Poster presentation: $60
DLfM 2026 presentation registration is currently open.
LOCATION, COLLABORATION
In 2021, 2022, and 2024, we had successful and productive collaborations with the International Association of Music Libraries, Archives, and Documentation Centres (IAML). We are thus delighted to come back to IAML in 2026.
DLfM 2026 will take place on July 02, 2026, at the Thessaloniki Concert Hall in Thessaloniki, Greece, within the wider IAML conference running from 28 June - 03 July 2026.
