The Center is the only institution in North America devoted solely to the life, works, and accomplishments of Ludwig van Beethoven. Access the extensive online guide to research; browse the collections; contact the staff for research assistance. Visit the center to see historical keyboards, Beethoven-themed art and ephemera, and a very famous lock of the composer's hair.
"The Beethoven Gateway is a free online resource that helps direct people interested in Beethoven to books, articles, scores, and other sources on the composer. Although it functions primarily as a catalog of the collections of the Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies, its also serves the broader purpose of providing a comprehensive and fully-indexed bibliography of materials relating to Beethoven, from a wide range of subject areas."--website.
"Since its foundation in 1889 the Beethoven-Haus has become a unique place, uniting under its roof a historic memorial site (Beethoven's birthplace), collection site, research centre and concert hall."--website. The site provides a virtual tour of the Beethoven-Haus; and a searchable catalog of Beethoven's works including scanned images and audio clips when available.
