Concert Programmes Database. I have been involved in this project, which seeks to provided online access to collection-level descriptions of collections of programmes in the the UK and Ireland, since its inception at the start of the Millennium. Initially it was funded by a grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (2004-07), but was later supported by IAML (UK & Irl), the Music Libraries Trust and donations.
