The Centre for Musical Study and Documentation (Centre d’études et de documentation musicales, Cedom) was established in 1989 at the National Library of Luxembourg (BnL). It's core purpose is to compile, centralise, index, conserve and render the country’s national musical heritage. The Luxembourg musical collection includes printed musical scores and manuscripts, composer archives, sound recordings, song books, monographs, reference books and concert programmes.

The BnL’s non-Luxembourg musical collection also offers a selection of musical scores, works and reviews in addition to a musicology database documenting the history of international music.

The resources available in the Cedom and non-Luxembourg musical collection may be ordered online via www.a-z.lu, and can either be borrowed or used on site.

The precious documents of the Cedom (score manuscripts, records and audio cassettes, composer archives) can be viewed at the library upon prior arrangement.

The CNA is both an open space for the general public and a professional institution. It was established in 1989 and placed under the authority of the Ministry of Culture. It's missions are the conservation and enhancement of Luxembourg’s audiovisual heritage and to ensure that all members of the public can access the culture of sound, still imagery and moving image through exhibitions, publications, screenings, conferences and other events aimed at the general public.

Production, distribution, conservation, restoration, creative and educational support - the tasks of the CNA’s three departments (film, photography and sound) are many and varied and require the involvement of multiple national and international specialists and creators. The CNA’s sound and photo studios, restoration workshop and archives enable it to serve the needs of professionals and creators from all corners of the audiovisual world.
