Musica Scotica 2018, 21-22 April

Posted on by Dr Karen E McAulay

newsThe Claimed From Stationers’ Hall research network, whilst very well-represented in Scotland, is not actually focused on Scottish music.  Nonetheless, we’re sharing this conference booking announcement for anyone who is working in that area.

Musica Scotica 2018 takes places 21-22 April 2018, in the Tolbooth, Stirling. You can find out where to book your place, here.

Some Interesting Work Out There!

Whilst I’m writing up my notes after attending five meetings in three weeks, I shall share some more interesting links with you, to keep you supplied with reading matter until I’m in a position to post a longer piece! Do take a look at these:-

  • Copyright ABC’s – ‘The Scots Musical Museum’. A post on St Andrews’ Special collections blog, the acclaimed Echoes From the Vault.
  • A University of Auckland thesis about “New Zealand’s Published Music 1850-1913” by Libby [Elizabeth] Nichol includes a chapter about publishers’ relationship with the British Stationers’ Hall, as well as information about New Zealand legislation.
  • UK Copyright Literacy (‘Decoding Copyright and Bringing You Enlightenment’) is a group concerned with educating us about copyright, and they welcome guest blogposts. I was happy to oblige … my contribution will appear soon!
