To help support teaching and research online in Spring Quarter 2020, RILM is making two music encyclopedias available to UW students, faculty, and staff through June 15, 2020.

MGG Online – Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart (MGG) is a general encyclopedia of music.

MGG Online contains the second print edition of MGG, published from 1994 to 2008, as well as current, continuous online updates and additions.
