The basic goals of the project was register and document the first sound recordings of Slovenian folk music on gramophone records with the accompanying technical, ethnological and historical documentation. It is among the most important results of the project creation of relatively extensive and detailed database (over 2650 recorded units), which electronically provides an overview of the collected material. In addition to metadata records, numerous audio, audiovisual, visual and written material are included in the database which will contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage and the development of national cultural identity.

COBISS.SI-ID: 33309229This paper presents the research and the importance of early sound recordings of Slovenian folk music, with an emphasis on material recorded on 78-rpm gramophone records.
