相對流行於現代的黑膠唱片，蟲膠唱片的身影較少出現，然而它在臺灣社會的現身其實早於黑膠，約流行於1910至1960年代。蟲膠唱片成為日治時期臺灣人的聲音首次被灌錄保存的媒介，隨著古倫美亞等唱片公司的發展，也帶動許多創作者，為現今的人們留下豐富的聽覺文化遺產。蟲膠唱片的內容涵蓋傳統音樂（京調、南北管、歌仔戲）、歌曲（歌謠、童謠、校歌、政宣歌）、談話類（如楊肇嘉演講）、笑科（即「笑話」），這些歷史材料向後人展現了昔日的文化。若單從視覺角度觀看，我們僅能從唱片圓標得知簡要資訊，因此蟲膠唱片只有透過被播放，我們才能探索蘊藏其中的文化。若要保存蟲膠唱片的價值，需要連同聲音一併保存。其維護首重留意保存環境和清潔，聲音保存則涉及多種數位化技藝的議題，像是哪種錄音方式最能保留其真實性、音訊需要做的數位處理、以及處理到什麼程度。本文預計透過筆者2016至2020年在國立臺灣歷史博物館維護蟲膠唱片的案例，梳理蟲膠唱片在臺灣的發展，探討其文化資產價值，包含與政治社會、音樂戲劇創作者的關聯，以及其揭露的大眾生活文化，以探討蟲膠唱片「聲與物」的保存。
