The German Music Archive (German: Deutsches Musikarchiv, DMA) in Leipzig,[1] is the central collection of printed and recorded music and the music-bibliographic information centre for Germany. It is a Federal agency founded in 1970, tasked with collecting all music published in the country. Publishers of printed and recorded music in Germany are required by law (since 1973) to deliver two copies of every edition as legal deposits to the archive.[2]
The DMA constitutes a department of the German National Library, Leipzig (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek).[3]
