Hofmeister XIX is an on-line, searchable version of the Hofmeister Monatsberichte for the years 1829-1900. Containing some 330,000 records of music publications, it is the most extensive resource for establishing what was published where and when during that period. Records are linked to facsimile images of the Monatsberichte on the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek (Austrian National Library) website.

❗️Future of Hofmeister XIX: update 2025-08-05
As you may have heard, Hofmeister XIX has been acquired by RILM (Répertoire International de Littérature Musicale), who have committed to preserving open access to the database, its quality, and its scholarly integrity. Technical work is under way on transferring the database to the RILM servers, where it will become available at hofmeister.rilm.org. We hope that this work will be completed during the course of the summer, and when it is, an announcement will be made on this page.
Professor Nicholas Cook (University of Cambridge) and Dr Tina Frühauf (Executive Director, RILM)
