For its first few years, the AIM maintained an advisory board of noted musicologists from around the world.[1] Such scholars included Willi Apel, Gustave Reese and Egon Wellesz among many others;[7] by 1949, however, Carapetyan assumed solo leadership until his death in 1992.[1] As part of Carapetyan's original plan to include musical performances in the AIM, an early music choir was created in 1947, but soon disbanded.[6] Also part of the original plan,[8] the AIM held advanced course on early music in the summers.[1] The first was near the headquarters in Rome, with the second at the Torre di Bellosguardo in Florence.[8]

The chief purpose of the AIM is to produce high-quality modern editions of
- The Corpus mensurabilis musicae (CMM), general editor formerly Frank D'Accone, encompasses medieval and Renaissance music.[1] The series serves as a vehicle for the publishing of the all surviving compositions by specific composers.[9]

- The Musicological Studies and Documents,
- Miscellanea, created by Carapetyan for materials not appropriate to other series,[9] notably reproducing the facsimile of Rameau's theoretical treatise.[1]
- The Renaissance Manuscript Studies, general editor formerly Charles Hamm, contains complete catalogues of early music sources.[1]
- The Corpus of Early Keyboard Music (CEKM), general editor John Caldwell, covers keyboard music until the 17th-century and reproduces them in modern notation.[1]

The AIM publishes Musica Disciplina (MD), an annual academic journal for scholarly work on medieval, Renaissance and early Baroque music.[1] Articles in the journal include analysis, studies and inventory of primary sources relating to early music.[1] Founded in 1946, the journal was known as the Journal of Renaissance and Baroque Music for its first year of publication.[1] MD does not engage in reviews.[12]
Carapetyan was the chief editor of the journal until his death in 1992.
