This paper presents the design and implementation of a web-based application aiming at the digitization, management, long term preservation and dissemination of musical cultural heritage. The architecture of the application is modular consisting of a digitization layer that provides all the necessary digitization services to the expert and an information system layer that supports multimedia management and dissemination services along with system administration services. The architecture is expandable due to the dynamic nature of a musical heritage archive. The application is safeguarding folklore music of Greek Ionian islands and provides services and tools to the internet user as well as the curator of the musical archive.
