B3.1.12 International Mozarteum Foundation, Salzburg, Austria (ISM)<br />
Role: content provider<br />
<strong>The</strong> International Mozarteum Foundation was founded in 1880 by citizens of the city of Salzburg and is rooted<br />
in the Cathedral Music Association and Mozarteum of 1841. Since then the prime concern of the non-profit<br />
organisation has been the person and œuvre of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart. <strong>The</strong> organisation of concerts, the<br />
Mozart museums and academic research are three core areas whereby a link is created between preserving and<br />
fostering tradition and a contemporary view. <strong>The</strong> aim is to open up changing perspectives and new approaches<br />
to the analysis of the composer.<br />
ISM houses the largest collection of primary documents (letters, documents) related to the Mozart family from<br />
the period ca. 1750 to 1858. <strong>The</strong>se include more than 50% of all extant autograph letters by Wolfgang Amadeus<br />
Mozart (1756-1791) and even greater portions of the letters by other members of the family. Furthermore the<br />
ISM possesses a large number of autograph manuscripts (ca. 80 items) and early authorised copies from the<br />
earliest until the latest periods of Mozart’s creative career. Not only the compositions by Mozart have rightly<br />
been regarded as masterpieces of European culture, but also the letters since they shed vivid light on 18thcentury<br />
cultural life in Europe. <strong>The</strong>ir contribution to the European cultural heritage and the interest they have<br />
received beyond circles of special lists is documented by numerous editions since the 19th century and by<br />
ongoing projects such as European Mozart Ways (http://www.mozartways.com/).<br />

<strong>The</strong> Fondazione Museo del Tesoro del Duomo e Archivio Capitolare of Vercelli, founded 2005, is committed to<br />
the task of protecting, managing and disseminating the artistic, bibliographical, historical and religious cultural<br />
heritage preserved in the Museo del Tesoro del Duomo (opened in May 2000) as well as the Chapter Library<br />
and Archives. Vercelli is the oldest diocese in the Piedmont (before the mid-4 th century, a bishopric) and over<br />
the centuries has witnessed important historical moments. It has thus become the guardian of art treasures of<br />
international importance, which in <strong>part</strong> have been made available to the public thanks to the Fondazione Museo<br />
del Tesoro del Duomo e Archivio Capitolare.<br />
Safeguarding this important heritage is the primary task of the Foundation, which in recent years has pursued<br />
