Abstract
IDEAMA – The International Digital Electroacoustic Music Archive was founded by the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), Stanford University, and the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe in 1990. IDEAMA was conceived as an “all-digital” archive preserving electroacoustic music composed up to about 1970. The target collection of 569 compositions was completed in 1996 and is currently accessible at 23 institutions worldwide. Since then, ZKM has been responsible for the collection. The main issues during the process of establishing the collection were the criteria for the selection of the pieces to be archived, the question of acoustical restoration, the solutions for storage and access, the legal issues – and, last but not least, “money.”
