In 2005, the Secretariat moved to the School of Music at the Australian National University. The move of the Council's records was co-ordinated by the immediate past Secretary General Professor Anthony Seeger (Department of Ethnomusicology, University of California Los Angeles UCLA) and the incoming Secretary General, Dr Stephen Wild (School of Music Australian National University ANU). The International Council for Traditional Music donated its records to the National Library in 2006.
