Résumé

This text presents the data sources for research on the development of string instrument pedagogy in Macedonian culture, along with the process of digital archiving of the materials. The reconstruction of the history of string instrument pedagogy is carried out through archival documents, interviews and data digitization. Special emphasis is placed on interviews with two prominent violin teachers, Kiril Vangelov and Rumen Dimitriev (a documentary film has also been produced about the latter), which were subjected to thorough research work and documented through multiple blocks of questions detailing their lives and careers. The databases contain information on teachers, students and curricula, and a particular focus on the digitization of materials related to cultural heritage, including detailed organization and annotation of documents, photographs and audio/visual recordings. This process ensures the proper preservation of cultural heritage and creates a basis for future research in the field of string tradition in Macedonian music.
