Interesting RISM-related website

The May/June 2008 issue of Choir & Organ arrived yesterday, with an interesting article about a website entitled RISM Music Manuscripts (1600 to 1800) in British and Irish Libraries. According to the article this website "provides descriptions and sources of 62,000 pieces of manuscript music." It is a regional (British and Irish) subset of the larger RISM A/II database. Check out the website at www.rism.org.uk
