Welcome to nationalanthems.info!

Here you will find comprehensive information on over 400 anthems past and present, including the background, title, sheet music (if available), a music file in MP3 format, and lyrics (usually with an English translation as well). You can find an anthem in the menu at the top alphabetically or you can use the search feature.

This site is focussed on the scholarly study of national anthems (anthematology) and the inclusion of a particular anthem should not be taken as an expression of political beliefs of the editors of the site. We strive for the information on this page to be factual, even in the dealing of anthems some may find “controversial”.  We also try to be as up to date as possible, presenting information as we can determine its veracity on a de facto basis if not de jure, however, information, especially in recent news, may change quickly and the information on our site may also change with new information that is discovered.

Get involved!

We love to interact with our visitors, and love having people get involved with our site.  You can follow us on Facebook for updates and general information.  As our site grows, donations help fund the site hosting and cover more ambitious projects.  For those seriously interested in national anthems research, you can check out the H. M. Stevens Collection on archive.org; created by nationalanthems.info, it is a collection of old anthem recordings, books, and other literature.  There is also an archive.org profile for nationalanthems.info itself where other works of scholarly interest will be placed.  Of course, we love to receive emails with questions or additional information, please check our Frequently Asked Questions page before you send an e-mail to see if we don’t have an answer already for you.  If at all possible, where contacting us with information, please try to include sources that confirm the information as well, as this is a scholarly site.

Learn!

We hope that this reference tool is of use to anyone wanting to learn more about the nations of the world. We truly believe that knowledge of other nations and cultures will help lead to further peace and understanding in the world, and learning about other anthems is a good beginning.
