All about this site

This virtual museum was founded in 2009. At the time I did not know that the will to succeed was not enough and that finances were also necessary. A website needs to be maintained: the webmaster, audio engineer, designer and translator for the English version of the site are not close relatives. The website domain and address are not my property. The only work that is free is that of authoring these lines.

At the time I began it was important for me to see the realization of my dream: to preserve the speech and language from the radio shows that were to be made available to everyone on the planet. There are 1,000 links to my radio documentary program that has recorded voices: an oral history.

My entire professional life’s work has been devoted to the art of radio.

In all the work involved in the production of a site, I had no experience. All I knew was that I did not want to make of the site a billboard for advertisements.

Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, created an open encyclopedia that belongs to everyone. In an appeal addressed to the users of his website he asked that they please consider making a donation to sustain Wikipedia.

My site was not built with the intention for it to be compared with Wikipedia. Your small donation, however, the only similarity I share with Wikipedia, would go towards the maintenance of this site. It would be received with gratitude. Intangible cultural heritage is a project of humanity, the goal of which may also be reached on this site:

“Where did all those years, all those people go when we are gone...?”
writer Milosz Czeslaw asks with good reason. That question has been partly resolved through the emergence of electronic communications, among which this site takes its place. Support it lest the darkness of oblivion consume everything.

Your benevolence will assist this great project undertaken in Belgrade through the effort of one content producer.

From Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales: “This year, please consider making a donation of €5, €10, €20 or whatever you can to protect and sustain Wikipedia.” My site www.audioifotoarhiv.com will be grateful if it receives but one dinar.

To add a lighter note, it is easier to think to music.
This is my favorite song.
"O bella ciao"
