We are pleased to announce a significant new update to our [RISM Online](https://rism.online) service, bringing several useful and oft-requested features to our users.
We are pleased to announce a significant new update to the [RISM Online](https://rism.online){:blank} service, bringing several useful and oft-requested features to our users.

Perhaps the biggest change is that our users will now see results from the [Digital Image Archive of Medieval Music](https://www.diamm.ac.uk) integrated in their search results. This enhances the coverage of RISM Online to include results for music manuscripts from the Medieval and Renaissance periods, and particularly those entries that are available in the printed RISM B/IV series. At the time of launch, this functionality has added 3,714 new source records, 2,586 new person records, and 707 new institution records to RISM Online, significantly enhancing our coverage of these periods.

For example, [a search for "Ockeghem"](https://rism.online/search?q=Ockeghem&mode=sources&page=1&rows=20) in RISM Online now returns 194 source results, with 65 of those source record results coming from the DIAMM records.

In addition to the new DIAMM integration, a number of user interface improvements have been made. Some of the new features include:

- An “Active filters” section for seeing, at a glance, all search terms that are currently active
- Icons in search results help to better visually distinguish record types. They are described here: [https://rism.online/about/help](https://rism.online/about/help)
- Icons in search results help to better visually distinguish record types. They are described on the [RISM Online Help page](https://rism.online/about/help){:blank}.
- Improvements to page layout on screens of different sizes
- Improvements to the Incipit search and display, including downloading an image of the incipit for use in papers, presentations, or websites
- Many improvements to our languages and translations
- Visual updates to our facets and record previews in the search interface

For the data-minded, the new update also brings with it a new Reconciliation API service for use with OpenRefine, a popular tool for doing data management and clean-up. RISM Online is listed in the public registry of OpenRefine services, and you can read more about how to use it in our [new documentation pages](https://rism.online/docs/).

The RISM publications represent RISM's activities that began in 1952 and continue to the present day. The focus of RISM's current activities is its electronic database, which can be searched at no cost through two resources, the RISM Catalog and RISM Online. RISM's library sigla can be searched through the [Online Directory of RISM Library Sigla](/community/sigla.html).

## RISM Database
RISM's over 1.4 million records can be searched through two different but complementary resources, the RISM Catalog and RISM Online. They both search the same rich pool of sources that stands at the core of the RISM project: music manuscripts, printed music, libretti, and treatises preserved in over 3,000 libraries, museums, archives, churches, schools, and private collections around the world. Our online tools incorporate records from earlier series (all of A/I, all of A/II, all of B/I, some of B/II and other B volumes; for details, see below), but also expand well beyond our early publications. The database grows monthly and reflects the work of our active RISM contributors worldwide.

The catalogs in the B/III series are focused on sources of medieval music theory. They offer a "description of all manuscripts in which are preserved Latin treatises—however small—dealing with the theory of music which was in use from the Carolingian era to 1400," which was extended to 1500 in volume 3. "Moreover, it relates the anonymous treatises in one or other manuscript to those other manuscripts in which the same--generally unpublished--treatise is found...The Index supplies a survey of the manuscripts in which this theoretical tradition is preserved, by providing a list of the authors' names and the incipits of the anonymous treatises."
