Le Répertoire International des Sources Musicales (RISM) est une organisation internationale à but non lucratif qui vise à documenter de manière exhaustive les sources musicales existantes dans le monde entier : manuscrits, musique imprimée, écrits sur la théorie musicale et livrets, que l’on trouve dans les bibliothèques, les archives, les églises, les écoles et les collections privées. Le RISM a été fondé à Paris en 1952 et est la plus grande et la seule organisation mondiale qui documente les sources musicales écrites. Le RISM enregistre ce qui existe et où l’on peut le trouver.
