A comprehensive, categorized "meta-site" collection of links of interest to musicians. One of the few that is currently maintained.

Music Publishers' Association
This trade organization's website features direct links to hundreds of music publishers, music copyright resources, and information on how the music publishing industry operates.

International Association of Music Information Centres (IAMIC)
Links to 43 member organisations in 38 countries. Music Information Centres across the world bear fundamental similarities: they provide specialised music resources for music students, performers, composers and music teachers; they act as visitor centres for any member of the public with an interest in learning about national musical heritage; they develop audiences for new music through educational and promotional projects.

• M.L.A. Obituary Index Includes death dates of musicians, along with sources of obituaries.
