History

The archive was founded in West Berlin on 1 January 1970, during the division of Germany as a department of Frankfurt am Main based Deutsche Bibliothek—the national library for West Germany. It incorporated its precursor, the [https://zabanway.ir/category/%d9%85%d9%88%d8%b2%db%8c%da%a9-%d8%a2%d9%84%d9%85%d8%a7%d9%86%db%8c/ Deutsche Musik-Phonothek] (1961–1969), and was located (until 2010) at the Siemens-Villa in Berlin-Lankwitz.{{cite web | title=Ein Herrenhaus in Lankwitz - Friedrich Correns ließ Deutschlands größtes Privathaus bauen | website=Gazette Verbrauchermagazin Berlin | url=https://www.gazette-berlin.de/artikel/181-ein-herrenhaus-in-lankwitz.html | language=de | access-date=5 March 2023}}
In the process of German reunification the West German Deutsche Bibliothek and the East German Deutsche Bücherei formed one national library with two seats in Frankfurt and Leipzig. The DMA moved to Leipzig in 2010, to be housed in an extension of the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek. Construction work began in 2006 and was completed in 2011.{{cite web | title=Lückenlos archiviert | website=bba | date=15 September 2013 | url=https://www.bba-online.de/metall/lueckenlos-archiviert/ | language=de | access-date=5 March 2023}}{{cite web | title=Presse - Kulturstaatsminister eröffnet Erweiterungsbau der Nationalbibliothek | website=Deutsche Nationalbibliothek | date=21 February 2019 | url=https://www.dnb.de/DE/Ueber-uns/Presse/ArchivPM2011/pmKulturstaatsministerEroeffnungErweiterungsbauNB.html | language=de | access-date=5 March 2023}}
In July 2000, the DMA also assumed the role as repository for GEMA, Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungs- und mechanische Vervielfältigungsrechte, a German music copyright organization. Since then, music publishers only have to submit copies to DMA, which covers both national archiving and copyright registration. The 210,000 works of printed music previously held by GEMA were transferred to DMA.{{cite web | first=Nicole |last=Obermeier | title=Deutsche Nationalbibliothek, Deutsches Musikarchiv | website=Bibliotheken und Archive in Leipzig | url=http://bibliotheken-leipzig.de/index.php/de/alphabetische-suche/d/431-deutsches-musikarchiv | language=de | access-date=5 March 2023}}

Users can copy recordings from the archive, such as out of print recordings on various formats, onto CDs.
The music archive also offers music bibliographic services. A common authority file is created with personal names, corporate bodies and work titles of the music, which can be made available for research purposes and as a cataloging tool. Until 2012, the DMA controlled uniform subject title files for its own use, which would then be merged into the common authority file. In addition, the German Music Archive has set up a database of loaned musical materials, the Bonn Catalog, which continuously updates the German National Library.
The archive contributes to the Europeana Sounds project, donating over 500 works.{{Cite web |title=German National Library – Annual Report 2015 |url=https://www.cenl.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Germany-Annual-Report-2015.pdf}}
