The society consists of over 3,300 individual members divided among fifteen regional chapters across the United States, Canada, and elsewhere, as well as 1,200 subscribing institutions. It was admitted to the American Council Of Learned Societies in 1951, and participates in RISM (Répertoire International des Sources Musicales) and RILM (Répertoire International de Littérature Musicale). The society’s annual meetings attract numerous scholars from North America and abroad, and consist of presentations, Symposia , and concerts, as well as more-or-less informal meetings of numerous related musical societies. Typically, two hundred presentations and meetings are scheduled over a four-day period. Many of the society’s awards, prizes and fellowships are announced at these meetings. Most of the society’s resources are dedicated to musicological publications. Most notable is its ''Journal of the American Musicological Society'' (''JAMS''), published three times a year since 1948 by the University Of California Press . The ''Journal'' was preceded by the Annual ''Bulletin'' (1936-47) and ''Papers'' (1936-41). Online versions of ''JAMS'' and its predecessors are available at JSTOR . Other studies and documents published by the society include the Complete Works of and Edward Roesner (1990), and, in conjunction with the International Musicological Society , ''Doctoral Dissertations in Musicology'' edited by C. D. Adkins and A. Dickinson in succession to Helen Hewitt (1952, 1957, 1961, 1965, 1971, 1977, 1984 cumulative edition , 1990, 1996 series, second cumulative edition ). BIBLIOGRAPHY
