B3.1.11 Bach-Archiv Leipzig, Germany (BAL)<br />

Role: content provider<br />

Bach-Archiv in Leipzig, Germany, remained after the closure of Bach-Institute, Göttingen in 2008 the most<br />

important centre of international research about Bach. It consists of a research institute which is mainly<br />

occupied with basic research and a scientific library of extended various collections concerning Bach. <strong>The</strong><br />

general public is served by a museum dedicated primarily to the life and work of Bach in Leipzig and an art<br />

management office producing among others a Bach-festival and the Bach-competition Leipzig.<br />

BAL is a member of the Konferenz Nationaler Kultureinrichtungen and belongs to the German »Kulturelle<br />

Leuchttürme«. An evaluation study (»Blaubuch«) performed in 2001 by the Assignee for culture and media of<br />

the federal government declared it to belong to the ``most important federally significant cultural institutions´´<br />

in the new federal states.<br />

Starting in 2008 the Bach-Archive Leipzig became an associated institute of the University of Leipzig.<br />

<strong>The</strong> BAL is a cooperation <strong>part</strong>ner with numerous institutions <strong>The</strong> long-term project Bach-Repertorium targeting<br />

specifically the study of the remaining musicians next to Johann Sebastian Bach in the large musicians' family<br />

is located at the Saxon Academy of Sciences and is furthered by <strong>The</strong> Packard Humanities Institute (Los<br />

Altos/California). <strong>The</strong> research whose focus lies currently with the sons of Johann Sebastian Bach is presented<br />

to the broad public by notes and documents editions, work lists, and scientific inventory catalogues.<br />

All world-wide existing Bach autographs should become digitised and the culture-historically valuable<br />

inventory of Bach resources should be made available to a broader public in Internet in the framework of DFG-<br />

<strong>Project</strong> Bach-Digital in cooperation with the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin, the computing centre Leipzig, and the<br />

Saxon Landes-, Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek in Dresden. <strong>The</strong> data about works and manuscripts for Bach-<br />

Digital is going to be taken over from the well-established "Göttinger Bach-Katalog" maintained by Bach-<br />

Archive Leipzig since August 2008.<br />
