RISM: International Inventory of Musical Sources after 1600 is an annotated index
and guide to music manuscripts produced after 1600. The manuscripts are found in over 740
libraries and archives in more than 30 countries worldwide.
The database, Series A/II of Répertoire International des Sources Musicales (RISM),
is linked to three other databases providing additional information to specific content:
Composer, Library Sigla and Bibliographic Citations. It contains over 740,000

The most important of these fields are:
- Name of the composer, arranger etc., with biographical dates
- Title of work in standardized form
- Music incipit (opening of musical text in musical notation)
