Legal deposit

Musical Documentation Center of Andalusia is the recipient of the Legal Deposit of musical scores and sound productions that are published in the autonomous community of Andalusia, thus contributing to the awareness of historical and cultural evolution, and the collection of all cultural records, for later dissemination for the benefit of the community.

Legal Deposit is of great importance and impact as a means of acquiring everything that is published in the Andalusian region; without this the collection would be much smaller. The theme is essentially music and Andalusia, there are also a number of sound recordings of modern pop music.
