The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music is an academic reference work. It was initiated by editors at Garland Publishing in 1988 as a 10-volume series of encyclopedias of world music. The final volume appeared in 1994, but editions have since been updated. It is widely regarded as an authoritative academic source for ethnomusicology. It is published by Routledge which, like Garland Science, is now part of Taylor & Francis Group.
