The main duty of the Music Archives of BHRT through several decades of collecting works was preserved – to keep and protect the authentic sound material, which will be put to use by generations to come, as well as to express the need for preserving the rich musical heritage.

Especially important is the compilation of folklore, and intention to preserve and affirm sevdah as a unique traditional expression in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In this extremely rich archive of different genres, as well as traditional and world music pieces, there are many rare recordings.

Through digitalisation and creation of a unique database and networking with radio and television programmes, BHRT will accomplish one of their main goals – to offer a simpler and faster access to their content.

This is especially significant when taken into consideration that most of the magnetic tape recordings are work of the Music Production of BHRT.
