Rad se odnosi na fono zbirku Muzikološkog instituta SANU, kao izuzetno važan deo fonda ove institucije. U zbirci se nalaze vredna zvučna izdanja, posebno dragoceni terenski snimci tradicionalne narodne i crkvene muzike, kao i snimci muzike srpskih kompozitora 19. i 20. veka. Podaci o vrstama nosača zvuka, načinima istraživanja i okolnostima u kojima su snimci nastajali, pa i njihovom čuvanju i obradi modernim tehnologijama, deo su istorijata etnomuzikologije i muzikologije u Srbiji. Prema broju zvučnih zapisa, dijahronijskoj dimenziji koju zahvata, geografskoj obuhvatnosti i žanrovskoj raznovrsnosti, ova kolekcija je jedna od najznačajnijih zvučnih zbirki naučnog profila u Srbiji.
