Abstract: The subject of this research is the phonodocument as a means of social communication. The object of this publication is the particularities of storing phonodocuments in modern digital conditions, revealed on the basis of a systematization of the existing phonoarchive institutions in today's communication space. The relevance of this study is determined by the lack of modern fundamental theoretical and methodological studies focused on this topic. The aim of this article is to identify, within the framework of the development of the whole concept of phonoarchitecture, the trends in the expansion of the limits of the storage phase of technotronic communication in a phonodocumet's life cycle. The author examines the particuliarities of the organization of phonodocument storage systems in different regions of the world. The author notes the basic principles of function and interaction of the storage objects of sound recordings. Additionally, the author reveals the common and distinctive features behind the functioning of national and non-governmental phonoarchives, libraries and museums at the present stage. Particular attention is focused on the specifics of the organization of storage and the use of radiophonodocuments, describing in detail the specifics of the transformation of this subspecies. The methodological basis of this study is composed of the metatheory of social communication ("Noocommunicology"). The author used the methods of comparative analysis, scientific forecasting, terminological analysis, archival studies, interdisciplinary synthesis, and system-functional, historical-genetic and historical-typological approaches. The author discusses the systemic incorporation of the world system of audiovisual archives into the processes of phonodocument communication. The model of phonodocument communication is presented in the form of disconnected elements, organically assembled together and integrated into a balanced system. The novelty of this study lies in its justification of the proposed directions for improving the communication platform for the circulation of archival sound recordings in the new digital environment. The author's special contribution to this topic is his theoretical development of a set of measures for the functional-content segmentation of the logistical channels and the reconstruction of some elements in the phonodocuments' life cycles. The author also undertakes a significant expansion of this research field thanks to an in-depth representation of the innovative developments in the creation of thematic scenarios for the formation of private sound-recording collections and the modernization of corporate sound storage facilities founded on intercompany cooperation.
