"And so the phonograph began collecting highlander melodies..." (Podhale region)
The oldest preserved phonographic relic that documents Polish musical folklore are considered to be recordings made by a philologist, Slavicist and ethnographer Roman Zawiliński (1855-1932) in 1904 in Podhale region. Just before the World War One Podhale region again hosted the phonograph and phonographic registrations were made in Podhale region by ethnographer and linguist – Julisz Zborowski.
The collection of phonographic cylinders recorded by J. Zborowski got preserved in the Tatra Museum in Zakopane – the inventory consists of 48 carriers, few of which went missing. It is hard to say whether the whole collection recorded by Zborowski is saved as we know that he purchased a hundred of wax cylinders and kept on buying them during the war. Some of the cylinders got broken or cracked (which did not eliminate the possibility of their reconstruction and replaying). It is worth to mention, that the discussed collection for many years was considered missing or destroyed and thus impossible to be read. In 2015, thanks to the financial support of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage Jacek Jackowski and engineer Lechleitner executed the digitisation of the whole collection of Zborowski recordings.
