Summary/Abstract: In 2019, the process of digitising and cataloguing the collection of music literature in Wawelbegan on the power of a contract between the John Paul II pontifical University, the archiveof the Kraków Cathedral Chapter and the Chopin Institute. The work conductedas part of the „Heritage of Polish Music in Open Access” project consists in the digitalisationof the collection, cataloguing it in the RISM database, and creation of the digitaleditions of selected pieces. The digitalisation, cataloguing, and digital editing of the Wawelrepertoire will not only allow a more precise future insight into that invaluable collectionbut will also open entirely new research options that have previously been unavailable.
