Résumé:

<p>After decades of neglect, the state of awareness of the need to take care of the earliest history of the Croatian record industry, today is gradually growing in parallel worlds - public and private. The problem is that the knowledge about the recordings is divided among people who do not communicate with each other, or communicate with reservations - considering the fruits of their research as part of their own collections.<br />Cooperation between them begins within a scientific project initiated 2020 by the Croatian Science Foundation within the activities of the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research. Time limit as a part of the title Record industry in Croatia in 1927 until the end of the 1950s. limits to the age of factory production of shellac-gramophone records on 78rpm - sound carriers that are most endangered by their fragility and lack of devices for safe reproduction.<br />The first phase of the project explores the history and production of Croatian publishing houses (Edison Bell Penkala, Elektroton and Jugoton) - based on their archival documentation, printed catalogs, literature and available lists of public and private owners.<br />The fruit of the search for existing recordings is an extensive publicly available e-discography, which is based on examples of the results of the world's leading projects, with additional detailed documentation of sources for the need of further scientific research. The starting hypothesis of the project is that the record industry is an important model for insight into modernization processes in Croatian and wider Yugoslav society, relations of cosmopolitanism and nationalism, class stratification of society, regional differences and interethnic and gender relations.<br />The discography is open for review and communication with users. The liveliest is finally happening among scientists and private collectors, in a dialogue of authors and discographic records in the international online database Discogs.<br /><br /></p>
