The American Beethoven Society is an international organization dedicated to the music of Ludwig van Beethoven.
The Society's primary work is the creation and support of a comprehensive collection of Beethoven materials at the Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies, which is housed at the San Jose State University, San Jose, California. The collection contains over 31,000 items, including first and early editions of Beethoven's musical scores, some original Beethoven manuscripts, Beethoven-related books, sculpture and artwork, sound and visual media, and Beethoven relia.
The Society also co-publishes the semi-annual Beethoven Journal.
