The Archiv für Musikwissenschaft is a quarterly German-English-speaking trade magazine devoted to music history and historical musicology, which publishes articles by well-known academics and young scholars.
It was founded in 1918 as the successor of the Sammelbände der Internationalen Musikgesellschaft[1] by Max Seiffert, Johannes Wolf and Max Schneider, who were also the first editors.
It was under the patronage of the Fürstliches Institut für musikwissenschaftliche Forschung zu Bückeburg.
Publisher of the quarterly was Wilibald Gurlitt (in connection with Heinrich Besseler, Walter Gerstenberg and Arnold Schmitz), who assigned the editorship to Hans Heinrich Eggebrecht.
Albrecht Riethmüller has been publishing the journal since 2000, the editors are Frank Hentschel (2000-2006), Gregor Herzfeld (2007-2014) and Andreas Domann (since 2015).
