Musicologists and Librarians Working Together: The Lendület Archive and Research Group, Budapest

摘要

In July 2012 an archive was founded in Budapest. This archives have several tasks in two different aspects: as a research group (musicological aspect) and as an archive (librarian aspect). These aspects are not always on a common currency. The archive took over the collections of Hungarian composers and musicians of the twentieth century; the processing of the data is primarily a librarian task. But there will be also several databases created for musicological research and these databases will be created on musicological basis. In this paper I wish to present the newly founded archives and point out the differences between the tasks of a musicologist and a music librarian, which must be taken into consideration during work at this archives. On the basis of my examples it will be clear that as a member of the research group it is not enough to be a musicologist, we also have to be librarians.
