It traces the historical trajectory of the materials from their collection to their digitisation, providing a statistical overview of the collection’s structure and outlining the theoretical framework for the analysis of key elements: context (metadata), content (music), and lyrics. The study acknowledges the significance of historical folkloristic and ethnomusicological practices, integrating these into the synthesis of the materials. It addresses issues such as collector bias, divergent transcription styles, and the inaccessibility of certain recordings.20252026-02-03 14:33:39Članek v reviji179031UDK: 398.91(=163.6):004ISSN pri članku: 1741-1920DOI: 10.1080/17411912.2025.2588780COBISS_ID: 262633731sl
