The Israel Musicological Society (IMS) was founded in 1967 in order to promote musical scholarship and contribute to musical life in Israel. IMS members include representatives of all university departments of musicology, music schools and colleges, teachers' training colleges, music research centers and collections in Israel, as well as independent scholars.

IMS holds an annual conference for the presentation of recent research by Israeli musicologists and guests from abroad. IMS publishes the series Min-Ad: Israel Studies in Musicology Online.

IMS is a non for-profit organization (ID  58-004-813-0, ID for tax purposes: 935403303)  funded entirely by membership dues and contributions by generous institutions and individuals.
