Summary DEVELOPMENT, EVALUATION AND PROTECTION OF SOUND RECORDING The beginning of sound recording is the year 1877 when the French inventor Charles Cross succeeded in record the sound. This epochal invention enabled the development of mechanical reproduction of recorded sound creating the sound recording industry. In more than hundred years it is the very important factor in the cultural development. In 1902 the very first sound recording of some actors was produced in Zagreb, in the hotel "Pruckner" Ilica 44. The record industry opened its doors in Croatia in 1924. The most important productions were these by Edison-Bell-Penkala (1924), Elektroton (1938), Jugoton (1947) and Croatia-records (1991). Very valuable sound recordings are found in the record and tape libraries of the mentioned record houses, that are of great significance for the Croatian national culture. The beginning of sound recording (transmission of Croatian programme) started on May 15, 1926 so Radio Zagreb has significant role in the production of sound recording. The radio archives are very important not only because of national sound recording but as well for political speeches. In this article the author states institutions that together with private colectionars own sound recording approachable for archivistic research. Many sound recordings were devastated or have disappeared because of various couses (political changes, nonprofessional valorisation and technological changes). Such a thing should be taken in mind for future protection of sound recording. This article with some examples from the foreign experience that should be applied, intends to be stimulus to record researcher and archives for future advencement of sound recording protection. 122
