concerne la musique de ce pays. Ce propos ne doit en rien être interprété comme un

jugement global et défavorable sur l'utilité des travaux gigantesques menés par le RIPM

sous les auspices de la Société internationale de musicologie, malgré les réserves que nous

avons exprimées à propos du choix quasi exclusif de la presse musicale. Il est plutôt

l'expression d'un groupe de chercheurs dont les travaux en cours tendent à montrer la

nécessité d'épuiser les ressources de toutes les formes de la presse, et de toutes les époques, en vue de donner préséance à la richesse de la documentation sur la valeur littéraire des

sources de toute histoire nationale.

Music Libraries in Canadian Universities Alison Hall (Ottawa)

As most of them are children of the twentieth century, Canadian academic libraries

perhaps lack the 'fonds' of their European counterparts. However, this has not prevented institutions from building up collections that now are of considerable import and

significance. The following series of articles describes the contents of some of these

collections, and gives an idea of the kinds of more interesting and valuable materials that

repose in Canadian libraries. As space would not have permitted contributions from all the

Canadian university libraries, the ones represented were chosen both to illustrate some of

the more significant music holdings in Canada and also to attempt to give a kind of historical

overview of different parts of the country.
