Full textAbstract:
This article adopts a map methodology to explore the forgotten female folklore collectors in the Norwegian Folklore Archives, examining their connections to the archive and what they collected. By focusing on historically invisible female collectors, the risk is that they are isolated as gender representatives and thus never become a part of the mainstream canon. Still, by literally putting these women on the map, it is our ambition that this will inspire a new take on the question of gender in the history of knowledge of folklore archives. The methodology employed combines remote reading and close reading, zooming in on a particular collector’s life and actions. The article reveals the spatial dimensions of mobility with the aim of expanding our understanding of the female collectors who left their mark on the collection of folklore.

Lene Vinther Andersen: Growing Collections: Recording, Archiving and Researching early Danish Folklore
 The article gives an introduction to the original main collection of the Danish Folklore Archives, entitled Voksende Samlinger (Growing Collections). Growing Collections is an abundant collection of records on folklore and immaterial culture with a focus on the 19th century. Yet the material can appear complicated to understand, fragmented and difficult to use for archive users who are not already familiar with the field and its history. The article examines the cataloguing principles and working methods of the Growing Collections, as well as the visions and ideas on which they are based. It is the ambition of the article to give readers insights into the possibilities and limitations of the Growing Collections, and to encourage readers to use the collection for their own research. A review of the cataloguing structure of the Growing Collections reveals that the records are systematically divided into a number of subject categories following a system devised by Svend Grundtvig in 1861. This systematization is associated with a fundamental conception of folklore as being a source to access a distant past. A close reading of the instructions and articles intended for potential folklore collectors gives an idea of how the researchers of the archives tried to control the form and content of the records created for the archives. Their goal was to collect, cleanse, split up and archive folklore records in the collections, which the researchers would later process and return to the general public as a large number of source publications that generally matched the subject categories of the archives. The publications turned out to be more demanding than first assumed, and the work was not achieved to the extent foreseen. Yet the Danish Folklore Archives continued to create archive material based on the aforementioned working methods and ideals up to around 1960, and the result was a well-ordered collection of folklore records with detailed metadata and an extensive catalogue. It is also a collection characterised by a radical splitting-up of material, and a focus on subjects that interested the researchers at the time. In view of the history of the Growing Collections and its underlying philosophy, it will, however, be possible to locate material that is of relevance to contemporary research interests, and the use of consistent metadata makes it possible to cross-reference both the material in the Growing Collections and in other archives. The article concludes with some specific proposals for the use of the material in cultural history research, as well as some reservations with regard to methodology that might be considered.

Aquest article estudia dos arxius de folklore recents de California: els Arxius de Folklore de la Universitat de California Berkeley, fundats per Alan Dundes, i els Arxius de Folklore Digitals de la Universitat del Sud de California, que vaig posar en marxa fa pocs anys. En aquesta anàlisi, el meu objectiu és situar aquests arxius no només com a llocs d’actuacions, sinó també com a actuacions en sí amb participants, contextos i influències. L’Arxiu de la Universitat de Califòrnia Berkeley va sorgir en una època d’agitació social a Amèrica i a la folklorística americana, mentre que els Arxius de la Universitat del Sud de Califòrnia van aparèixer com a part integral del canvi digital i global de la cultura humana. Els arxius són una part fonamental dels estudis de folklore i el fet d’estudiar-los permet entendre més la disciplina i el paper que té en la societat que l’envolta i en què funciona i que sovint diu que representa. Aquest informe breu pretén servir per entendre com segueixen adaptant-se els estudis de folklore i com els arxius poden continuar sent important i rellevants per a un món que està canviant tan de pressa.

ge group of professional scientists and local ethno-culture preservation enthusiasts. The collected audio and video material is transferred to the most famous folklore archives in Kyiv, Lviv and Dnipro, and to regional cultural heritage protection institutions. It is a time-consuming process which is not always carried out systematically and consistently. In February 2022, the hostilities launched by the Russo-fascists in Ukraine fundamentally changed the specifics of this work. In these difficult conditions, it is necessary to look for opportunities urgently to transfer the mentioned recordings of ethnographic material, or copies of them, for storage in similar secure foreign archives. The article provides information about the author’s personal recordings of Ukrainian folklore, their scope, preservation possibilities, and the prospects for their documentation and research in Vilnius, in the archive of the Department of Folklore of the Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore.

This article deals with two activities of the Lithuanian Science Society (LSS, 1907–1938) and the history of the folklore collections it accumulated. Its members encouraged people to record folk songs, fairytales, stories, riddles, and other forms of folklore, and they tried to gather in one place all the older manuscripts that contained folklore. This way, the LSS’s folklore archive was formed at the beginning of the twentieth century. In 1908, Eduard Wolter, a member of the LSS, made the first folklore sound recordings with a phonograph apparatus. The chair of the Society, Jonas Basanavičius, knew about the Phonogram Archives of Vienna and Berlin; therefore, he encouraged the establishment of such an archive in Vilnius. Another idea of the LSS, initiated by Mykolas Biržiška, was to gather all the songs in one place and to publish a national songbook. Unfortunately, these goals were visionary and utopian for this period of cultural development in Lithuania. In this study, the birth of these ideas and the path to their realisation are chronologically reviewed. The author discusses the reasons why they were not accomplished in the first part of the twentieth century, and gives explanations for why they were successfully implemented in the second part of the twentieth – beginning of the twenty-first centuries. The historical-political context as well as the actual digitisation of intangible heritage archives help clarify the process.

The paper discusses the content of one of the largest folklore archives in Russia belonging to the Institute of Language, Literature and History of the Karelian Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Systematic work of collecting folklore, carried out for more than 100 years, contributed to the creation of archives reflecting the historical events of an entire era. In the 1930s a new historical period began, giving life to the new forms of epic art — the so-called “novinas,” held in the Archive. During the Great World War, prisoners of the Finnish concentration camps created the so-called pieces of camp folklore, reviving the genre of lamentation. In the postwar period, researches were urged to deal with “Soviet” folklore, and not with the “frozen” forms of folk art. The archival materials collected among the representatives of deported people — Ingrian Finns — bear witness of the historical time. In the second half of the 20th century ideological pressure in the folkloristic studies continued, as superstitions and prejudices were sought to be eradicated, and the collection of folklore reflecting folk religious beliefs was not welcomed.

Full textAbstract:
The digitisation and preservation of language and folklore sound collections are highly relevant issues for many archival institutions in the Russian Federation. The folklore archive of the Udmurt Institute of History, Language and Literature in Izhevsk has not been an exception to this. The first folklore and language recordings on analogue magnetic tapes appeared in the early 1960s. In subsequent years, local folklorists and linguists made numerous expeditions to survey all areas of Udmurtia and the neighbouring regions where the Udmurts lived. Estonian researchers also participated in the recording of the Udmurt language and folklore during expeditions both in Estonia and outside. The article covers the joint efforts of Estonian and Udmurt scholars in collecting Udmurt folklore and language materials, which are currently stored at the Estonian Folklore Archives.

The paper is devoted to the problem of creating an electronic version of a folklore archive and finding ways to present it on the Internet. A preliminary review of the electronic archives of folklore materials posted on the Internet indicates different approaches to their implementation. In the category of archives containing information about folk songs, various methods of classifying musical genres are used, as well as ways of organizing them, which in general makes it difficult for the user to work with resources. The authors of this study propose their own development of a draft electronic map Ethno-cultural heritage of Belgorod Region. This information resource is aimed at both professional figures in the field of folk music and a wide range of amateurs. The basis of the electronic map was made up of expeditionary materials from the archive of Folk Singing Art Department of Belgorod State Institute of Arts and Culture. While developing the project, modern trends in the presentation of archival materials on the Internet were taken into account, which made it possible to fully reveal the traditional culture of the region. The proposed method of presenting information allows you to maximally illuminate the musical genre composition of folk singing, get acquainted with the creative heritage of outstanding performers, as well as greatly facilitates the search for specific song samples, both among the archive materials and in existing publications.

Rich collections of the Lithuanian Folklore Archives, now amassing over 2 million pieces, are the result of ceaseless efforts not only by the researchers, but also by numerous volunteer assistants, among which there were quite a number of enlightened Lithuanian priests. Priest Antanas Valantinas (1916–2004), an active collector of folklore from the second half of the 20th century, also belonged to this group. His 100th anniversary was celebrated this year. In 1958–1989, responding to the invitation of his contemporary folklorists to join in the work of folklore collecting, this priest recorded and handed over to the Archives 115 folklore collections, comprising in total 13 148 folklore pieces. Valantinas collected folklore both in his native places and in the parishes where he worked as a priest. Valantinas was also a literary man: he composed poems and personally published over 20 books and brochures containing poetry, essays, sermons, as well as several small folklore collections. Although the Archives still receives folklore recorded by the priests working in the second half of the previous century, Valantinas stands out among them as the most prolific collector and the last priest – folklore collector of such scope. This essay discusses the events organized to commemorate the merits of this deserving worker in the field of the Lithuanian folklore.

Full textAbstract:
The Soviet occupation starting after the WWII determined the direction of folklore research in Lithuania for decades, not only taking away the possibility of continuing the folklore studies launched already in the independent interwar Lithuania, but even that of appreciating the ideologically untainted history of folkloristics from that period. The 80th anniversary of the Lithuanian folklore archives that is celebrated this year encouraged us turning back and revisiting this span in the history of the Lithuanian folkloristics, which at the time was just acquiring the shape of an independent scholarly discipline. Based on various documents scattered in different archives and repositories and on the relevant publications in periodicals of the time in question, the author of the article discusses the cultural, academic and political situation of establishing the first centralized folklore institutions (the Folklore Commission, the Commission for Gathering Folk Melodies, and the Lithuanian Folklore Archives). The author also analyzes the tasks that these institutions had to fulfill as well as the ways in which the representatives of different schools of folklore research dealt with these tasks. An important prerequisite for establishing a folklore research center in the independent Lithuania was founding of the Lithuanian University, which joined humanitarians willing and ready to organize the research activities, and raising various issues related to the investigations of the national culture, its dissemination and collection in view of the future research. Therefore, it is hardly accidental that in 1930 the Folklore Commission was established at the Faculty of Humanities. It was the first official institution in charge of folklore: collection of the Lithuanian folklore and preparing for its systematization. As many other commissions of the time, it also launched publication of series entitled Mūsų tautosaka [‘Our Folklore’] – the first research journal in folklore, which published numerous collections, ethnographic descriptions of daily life and customs, and research articles. However, due to the lack of a broader understanding of folklore and in absence of educated folklore specialists, folklore was primarily regarded as a source material for literature and science, while research was frequently overshadowed in the Commission’s activities by folklore popularization.Nevertheless, in the course of the 1930s significant changes took place in the Ministry of Education and in the cultural policy that it implemented. These changes affected folkloristics as well. In 1934, Juozas Tonkūnas was appointed as the new Minister of Education. Having his background in the academia, he radically changed the direction of the national culture policy, attempting finally to bring the abstract rhetoric concerning the rather obscure “national culture” onto a solid basis. Such basis, according to him, could only be established as a result of the scholarly research, and more precisely – studies of Lithuanian language, literature, history, and folklore. It is also important, that academic community had matured by that time and was ready for the changes to take place. In the 1930s, the University of Vytautas Magnus introduced a separate course in Lithuanian folklore, while in 1934 a Chair in Ethnics was finally established. Having completed their studies at the Western universities and acquiring basic learning in folkloristics, young specialists started coming back, bringing together Western cultural ideas and research experiences.The above-mentioned reasons (insufficient scientific activities of the Folklore Commission, appearance of young specialists educated in folklore and general changes in cultural policy) could have prompted the Ministry of Education to terminate the activities of the Folklore Commission, establishing instead a new scholarly institution subordinated directly to the Ministry. Thus, the Lithuanian Folklore Archives was established in 1935, which until nowadays preserves its central position as the most important folklore repository, storing centuries-old collections regarded as important documents of Lithuanian folklore, national culture and history, as well as continuing to accumulate the most recent fieldwork data. The sphere of the activities of the Folklore Archives was defined in July 6, 1935 by the special law; it included collection, systematization, publishing and preservation of the (verbal) folklore and folk melodies. Jonas Balys, a professional folklorist educated at the Western European universities and therefore preferring the Western pattern of dealing with folklore, was appointed director of the newly established Folklore Archives. As diverse scholarly and applied activities of the Lithuanian Folklore Archives clearly testify, the Lithuanian folkloristics in the 1930s was already making its first, but rather sure steps in the academic field of folklore research, concentrating on collection, preservation and analysis of the oral cultural heritage.

In the Soviet Ukraine, political folklore was a powerful channel of unofficial com-munication for a large part of that country’s population. Telling jokes and performing songs that ridiculed communist authorities as early as in the 1920s was a widespread way of expressing mass resistance against totalitarianism for many Ukrainians. In the 1930s-50s’, the Soviet apparatus of repression applied punishments of imprisonment lasting 3 to 10 years to those disseminating folkloric political satire along with confisca-tion of their property. Some people who were repressed for carrying out political folklore never returned from the GULAG. This article is based on folklore materials gleaned from criminal cases found in former NKVD and KGB archives, which were made available to researchers in 2015 in the Ukraine.

A significant risk that we might lose especially valuable funds of Ukrainian musical folklore under conditions of Russian military aggression and, at the same time, the outstanding interest of Ukrainian society in its own national cultural heritage call for rethinking approaches to archival storage, post-processing and dissemination of folklore field research materials stored in archives of Ukrainian scientific institutions and in the personal scientist`s collections.
 Forced preparations for the sudden evacuation of the folklore archives, backup process and relocation, started by a group of folklorists from Kyiv and Lviv shortly before the Russian invasion, revealed a number of disadvantages of Ukrainian musical folklore archives organization. These include the impossibility of quick data transfer, unavailability of digital media backups, a lot of non-digitized materials stored on analog media, the inconsistency of analog and digital collection`s condition with modern (digital) information storage methods (mostly paper based documentation), etc.
 This article analyzes the current condition of the digital collections of Ukrainian musical folklore, which are located in the archives of several Ukrainian scientific institutions and in some personal collections of the scientists. The most important issues of organization and functioning of Ukrainian musical folklore digital collections are outlined.
 Existing principles and models of data structuring according to the modern analytical requirements outlined in the studies of Ukrainian emusicologists have been analyzed in detail. The new principles of data and metadata organization are proposed to simplify information search and analysis and extensive use of computer systems to work with digital collections of Ukrainian musical folklore.
 Development and implementation of a reliable digital repository as a component of the unified workspace for digitization, electronic archiving, analysis and presentation of the field folklore materials are intended not only to solve most of the mentioned issues related to the digital collections of Ukrainian musical folklore, but also to provide access to the intangible achievements of the Ukrainian nation for scientists, artists and a wide range of involved users.

Due to the extraordinary value and uniqueness of folklore materials in the Ukrai- nian archives and private collections of scholars, preserving these materials is an ex- tremely important task, especially in the context of Russian aggression in Ukraine. Modern digital technologies open up new opportunities for the preservation, research, and dissemination of Ukrainian musical folklore. However, in order to effectively utilize these opportunities, it is necessary to develop completely new approaches to the creation of digital audiovisual archives. Despite the fact that the possibility of fully implementing such projects in the future is rather difficult due to limited techni- cal and financial resources, the possibility of easy access to the materials of folklore collections can be organized using existing approaches by optimizing them. The article analyzes the current state of the analog and digital collection of Ukrai- nian musical folklore in the Kyiv Laboratory of Ethnomusicology (officially known as the Problematic Research Laboratory of Ethnomusicology of the Ukrainian Na- tional Music Academy). The article also highlights the main features of the musical folklore collection organization and the problems that arise when working with them. Author proposes the idea of introducing a transitional stage in the organization of musical folklore collections, which would allow to prepare more effectively the tran- sition to the new type of archives and solve a number of existing problems in the current challenging conditions.

В статье рассматривается комплекс проблем, существующих в настоящее время в российских фольклорных собраниях и архивах, среди которых вопросы архивирования экспедиционных материалов и их предварительной обработки при все увеличивающемся количестве, статуса фольклорных архивов, сохранности фольклорных коллекций, доступа к архивным фондам, существования личных архивов. На примере Пермского края раскрываются особенности ситуации в одном из регионов России, в котором, несмотря на многолетние активные экспедиционные исследования, за редким исключением, не происходит архивирования материалов и нет, за исключением Пермского национального исследовательского университета, действующих фольклорных и этнографических архивов. Автором отмечается, что в настоящее время нет возможностей и единого пути быстрого решения обозначенных проблем, а есть несколько подходов к решению проблемы и приоритетных задач. Насущной задачей является институциализация существующих архивов - получение или закрепление официального статуса в уставных документах, официальной структуре учреждения. Одним из реальных шагов к сохранению фольклорных коллекций представляется сотрудничество с государственными архивными учреждениями. Популярным в последние десятилетия стало создание электронных архивов в сети Интернет, баз данных. Традиционными также остаются публикации архивных материалов. Другой стороной существующих проблем является позиция профессионального сообщества. Фольклорные архивы должны восприниматься как общественное явление по сохранению этнокультурного наследия, как часть культурной среды региона и страны. Профессиональное сообщество должно четко сформулировать свою позицию и включиться в обсуждение существующих проблем и в деятельность по их преодолению. This article considers the problems that now exist in Russian folklore collections and archives including: issues concerning the archiving of expeditionary materials and their preprocessing, given their growing number; the status and activities of folklore archives; the preservation of folklore materials; the availability of archival funds; and the existence of personal archives. As an example, the peculiarities of the situation in one Russian region - Perm - are examined. Despite multi-year active expeditionary activity, there is no archiving of materials and there are no existing folklore and ethnographic archives except at Perm State National Research University. The author notes that there is no reasonable possibility of a fast solution to these problems and there is no single way to work them out, but suggests several approaches and priority tasks. For many archives, the main task consists in their institutionalization, i. e. gaining or strengthening their status in the official structure of an institution. One real step toward the preservation of folklore collections is seen as collaboration with state archival institutions. The creation of electronic archives and databases on the Internet has become quite popular during recent decades, while traditional publications of archival folklore materials continue to exist. Another aspect of the existing problems consists in the scholarly community’s position on this issue. Folklore archives should be viewed as a social phenomenon aimed at the preservation of the ethno-cultural heritage. The professional community should formulate its position and actively enter into discussion of existing problems and ways to actively address them.

In our paper, we discuss how the digital domain extends the sustainability of analogue archives through communication with the public. Our interdisciplinary research project “Participatory Knowledge Practices in Analogue and Digital Image Archives” (PIA) is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (2021–2025) and developed in cooperation with the photographic archives of the Swiss Society for Folklore Studies (SSFS). It aims to increase the use of image-based research data by developing participatory tools and deploying shared application programming interfaces (APIs) such as standards that adhere to the Linked Open Usable Data (LOUD) design principles. By involving the public, the project aims to increase the overall use of image-based research data. This makes data more sustainable in interaction with the analogue archive and increases the attractiveness of digital infrastructures.

The method of digital collection: Experiences from Lokaleliv.dk Collection and research are two central purposes for the Danish Folklore Archives at the Royal Library. Like many other archives in the Nordic countries, the archive is experimenting with digital collection via the internet. In 2009-2010, the Danish Folklore Archives carried out the internet based questionnaire Lokaleliv.dk (“Local lives in Denmark”) together with a number of Danish archives and museums. The purpose of the questionnaire was to gather information about voluntary activities taking place in different local communities in Denmark and to examine how local communities come into being. The questionnaire thus focused on leisure activities and social relations among people in Denmark. It consisted of 73 questions, with the last question including the option of writing a text about one’s activities in the local area. While the questionnaire responses document a rich and varied life of local communities all over the country, it has turned out that it is difficult to analyze the collected material with regard to the questions initially posed when the project was launched. Based on the initial experiences and results from Lokaleliv.dk, the purpose of this article is to discuss some of the challenges of digital collection. It discusses conceptual and methodological issues related to the study, and it argues that one of the key challenges in working with the findings from Lokaleliv.dk is based on a discrepancy between the questions asked and the methods used.

The process of digitising archives, a universal trend in the last decade, also concerns music resources, thus offering new functionalities to their users. Its effects can facilitate researchers’ work since digital material is readily available and easy to locate. The questions that remain open concern the status of oral history contained in those audio-visual documents, its value and durability, the current results and possible consequences of making these materials accessible on a mass scale, as well as the effectiveness of multidimensional grassroots initiatives, such as cooperation on building virtual collections of materials. What possibilities open up for the musical folklore archives that are currently being discovered? Can digitisation suddenly make them more valuable in the eyes of the society? In this paper, I attempt to diagnose the problem of musical archive digitisation on the example of the ethnomusicological collection of Adolf Dygacz. I stress the importance of local history, which is a common subject in the humanities and has always been part of folklore studies but was not considered in the light of memory studies until very recently.

The linguistic theory of the Soviet academician Nikolai Marr which in the 1930s captured Soviet humanities, including literary and folklore studies, had several stages: from an unrestrained glorification up to its complete defamation in 1950 (after Stalin’s article in “Pravda”). Heated discussions around the “paleontological method” resumed in Russia during the Perestroika and later, when most experts consider it as unfounded. The present publication is focused on the remembered evidence of Mark Azadovsky (1888–1954) who in the 1930s headed all folklore studies in Leningrad (in the Academy of Sciences as well as at the University) and who was at that time deeply involved in the principal events of folkloristic life and was well acquainted with its participants. His letter to the Moscow folklore scholar Vera Krupyanskaya (1897–1985), written in May 1952, represents a retrospective evaluation of Marr’s direction in Soviet folklore studies and gives, moreover, an answer to the question: who among the Soviet specialists in folklore could be regarded (and to what degree) as a real adherent of Marr’s school? After 1949, when Mark Azadovsky was subjected to public dishonor and dismissed from all of his academic positions, he had no possibility to express his views in public. However, he managed to indirectly influence the contents of one of the “anti-Marrist” articles typical of that time (“About the fallacious views of N.Ya. Marr and his followers in the field of the folklore studies” by Vladimir Chicherov). The story of this article, published in the magazine “Soviet Ethnography” (1952) presents an “intrigue” with some fascinating details.

Abstract In this article, we examine the Folklore Archives of the Finnish Literature Society from the point of view of material on the Roma from the mid-1800s to the 2010s. The article demonstrates that the kind of material on the Roma that has been incorporated into the archives during various periods is indicative of not only changing interests in the study of folklore but also of the inclusions and exclusions carried out in the building of the Finnish nation and of the Roma's own choices in keeping secret or disclosing their traditions. The article also points to the partially random nature of the archival materials: materials that were not purposefully collected have also made their way to the archives.

"The main goal of this paper is to adequately understand the shifts produced after 1945 in Folklore Studies (Ethnology) in terms of research topics, methodologies, approaches, and scientific policies, in connection with the new political and ideological context. In particular it aims at discussing how, why and to what extent the Cluj Folklore Archive could be defined as a cultural institution playing an important role at the regional level whilst contributing to a correct socio- cultural understanding of Transylvania in relation to the other Romanian provinces. Content analysis will be the main methodology used, whereas the intricate connections and relationships among archives, memory, and territorial and cultural identities shown in the sources will support the process of understanding, deepening, and widening the researched topic."

Full textAbstract:
Variation is a core feature of folklore that plays a part in configuring the processes of folkloric communication, transmission and creativity. Computational analysis of large folklore collections offers new outlooks on the study of variation. The article explores the nature of folkloric variation on the basis of folk song and fairy tale text corpora from the Estonian Folklore Archives. Our enquiry into regional variation in Estonian folk song showed different patterns of geographic variation for metre, repertoire and language. To investigate further the possibilities to disassemble the components of variation we turned to a smaller corpus of fairy tale texts from the distinct Seto language community. The results of stylometric analysis of fairy tales collected within the close language community as a rule found that word usage patterns in stories told by the same storytellers were closer to each other than stories with the same content (i.e. tale types). However, other factors, such as collectors’ individual styles, recording time, length of text, and storyteller’s place of origin contributed notably to similarity as per stylometric scores. The study has shown that the individual features and aspects of such a complex phenomenon as folklore can follow its own variation patterns. Computational analysis of the variation in large text corpora helps us get a better understanding of the functioning of variation, and the processes of folkloric creation. However, the layers of folkloric variation are not that easy to disassemble, one must be aware of the biases in text corpora and keep in mind the effect of the linguistic variation on the results.

Introduction. The article presents the overview of the Livvic dialectal audio materials stored in the Phonogram Archive of the Institute of Linguistics, Literature and History of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Science (Petrozavodsk). Materials and Methods. The article is based on the digital information resources, folklore-ethnographic and linguistic data obtained in the ILLH KarRC RAS archives. The research was carried out using descriptive, comparative, historical and chronolohical methods. Results and Discussion. The Institute’s Phonogram Archive stores field materials which have been collected by the Institute’s specialists since the 1930s. These are speech samples, folklore works, as well as information about the culture and life of the peoples living in the Republic of Karelia, and neighboring regions. The article considers collections of audio materials in the Livvik dialect of the Karelian language, which were collected on the territory of South Karelia in the Olonetsian, Pryazha’s, Suoyarvi’s, Pitkyaranta’s districts. They include not only speech samples, but also some data on ethnography, toponymy, folklore, etc. Part of the material from the Livvic collection (dialect and folklore-ethnographic materials) is presented in the article as the tables that help navigate it. It can be useful for a wide range of specialists: ethnographers, linguists, folklorists, historians. Conclusion. The collections of Livvic dialect and folklore-ethnographic materials of the Phonogram Archive of the ILLH of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences include valuable linguistic, folklore and ethnographic material. The authors have presented a small part of the unique material stored in the archive. Digitization of archival and field audio samples of Karelian speech in the format of a speech corpus can further simplify the processing and storage of materials, can make it possible to introduce into academic and research environment and make available the unique audio materials which reflect the state of Karelian and Vepsian dialects since the middle of the last century.

Full textAbstract:
Numerous development techniques and attributes that define the unique essentiality of archaic rural tourism websites in Poland have been identified. However, the use of e-folklore graphics on the websites heretofore has not been analysed. The paper’s objective is to identify forms of digital folklore found on archaic websites of rural tourism facilities functioning in Poland from 2000 to 2015. The analysed sample was 185 websites stored in the Internet Archive. The focal points were the dynamics of content presentation and the type of graphic components, including marquee text containers and GIFs. The use of characteristic graphics and digital stamps was recorded as well. The results fuel a discussion concerning potential reasons for deleting copies stored in digital archives. It is further concluded that all digital copies, even those far from being complete or perfect, contribute to the integrity of the digital ecosystem as a whole. Therefore, the process of archiving Internet content must not be exclusive. Therefore, any actions towards preserving the digital ecosystem for further investigation are reasonable.

This article focuses on archival collections relating to so-called “tattare” and “zigenare” (roughly translated as “tinkers” and “gypsies”) created by Swedish folklore scholars during the twentieth century, and how these scholars influenced politics and interventions regarding these categories. It addresses questions regarding the production of knowledge about these categories and the contexts, structures and actors that have created the basis for these kinds of collections. Special focus has been placed on works by the folklore scholars Carl-Martin Bergstrand and Carl-Herman Tillhagen, and collections at the Institute for Language and Folklore, Department of Dialectology, Onomastics and Folklore Research and the Nordic Museum. By unfolding the networks of Bergstrand and Tillhagen and following the traces of their work to other archives, the article highlights some of the political and monitoring dimensions of archival practices in relation to minority groups in Sweden.

Full textAbstract:
Archives of Latvian Folklore (LFK) have possession of materials on traditional medicine from the second half of the 19th century to nowadays, more than 78646 folklore units in total. The traditional treatment or traditional medicine as a genre covers descriptions of diseases and their treatments, explanations of the causes of the illnesses, and data on remedies (plants, substances, physical items, techniques) and their application. Materials on traditional medicine differ in terms of the form of expression and the content, mostly depending on the personality of the informant or the recorder as well as the time of the recording. The greatest amount of the materials are located in the collections performed by schools in the 20s and 30s of the 20th century. Most often, these collections compile information on medical plants, less commonly – on the use of objects, substances, and products of animal origin in medical treatment. LFK individual archives and the Collection of Spells and Incantations [150] contain materials the richest in diversity. Materials on traditional medicine in these archives are structured differently, though they disclose wide context and ties to other genres within folklore. Recipes for humans, as well as animals, combine different substances and drugs available in pharmacies. Materials on traditional medicine recorded in Archives of Latvian Folklore do not reflect traditional Latvian word of mouth inherited knowledge only, there are impacts caused by earlier written sources, including translations from German. The research of the first periodical published in Latvian, “Latvian Doctor” (Latviešu Ārste), shows that there are similarities with the earliest LFK materials in the style of expression, recipes mentioned, and units of measurement used. However, there are no direct rewrites from the “Latviešu Ārste” advice in the later materials of traditional medicine.

The meteorological information from the archives is rarely considered by folklorists or ethnographers. The article is the first to publish letters that reflect on unusual celestial and meteorological phenomena and were received by the Moscow branch of Archive of the Commission on anomalous phenomena in the natural environment in 1984–1989. In total, about 4 thousand letters on various topics from various regions of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine were analyzed. The sample included only those stories that can be interpreted as narratives about encounters with supernatural beings and phenomena mainly in the first half of the XX century (signs and omens, miracles, “fiery dragon”), materials on folk astronomy, as well as evidence of the reaction of the population to these events. The letters demonstrate how educated senders attribute the supernatural to certain natural phenomena (halos, light poles, auroras, comets, fireballs, etc.). The messages under consideration are more full of details than traditional narratives, they almost always fairly accurately indicate the chronological framework of what happened. The messages themselves, which for the most part can be attributed to post-folklore contain modern folklore narratives, where the folklore can generally be blurred, giving way to the “scientific”, but at the same time fits into traditional folklore schemes.

Digitisation of Folk Archives: A Crisis of Tradition or the New Life on the Internet? An Example of Adolf Dygacz’s Collection The process of digitising archives, widespread in the previous decade, has not omitted musical resources, and offers their users new functionalities. These measures can improve researchers’ work, as digital material is easy to localise and access. However, a question still remains of the subject of oral history, which acts like audiovisual documents, of its value and durability, the present results and the consequences of the common access to the materials. It is also a question of the effectiveness of multidimensional grassroot initiatives, such as creating common virtual collections of materials. What possibilities have we got for the folklore musical archives currently being discovered? Will their digitisation make them suddenly valuable in the society? In this text, the author attempts to diagnose the problem of digitisation of musical archives as exemplified by the ethnomusicological collection of Adolf Dygacz. The author highlights the importance of local history that is typical for human studies, which has always been part of folklore studies, but has not been considered in the light of memory studies until recently.

Résumé Madeleine Doyon a été associée aux Archives de folklore de l’Université Laval dès leur création en 1944. Pendant plus de 30 ans, elle a mené une carrière d’enseignante et de chercheure au sein du groupe constitué par Luc Lacourcière. Elle fut aussi secrétaire en titre des Archives de folklore de 1945 à 1955. Madeleine Doyon voulait tout saisir de la culture traditionnelle, qu’elle concevait au sens large : depuis les us, coutumes et pratiques, le costume, les jeux et les divertissements, jusqu’aux arts populaires. Son enseignement l’a amenée à développer des outils et des méthodes, pour le travail de terrain en particulier. L’oeuvre de Madeleine Doyon est teintée d’éclectisme et de perfectionnisme. Elle s’avère polyvalente avant l’heure, intéressée par les langues et la littérature, les arts et l’histoire.

The Estonian Folklore Archives of the Estonian Literary Museum hold a valuable collection of Livonian ethnography and folklore – Oskar Loorits’ collection of Livonian folklore. Oskar Loorits started his journey to Livonians and the Livonian language in 1920, when he participated in a Livonian expedition in Courland as an assistant to Lauri Kettunen, professor of Finnic languages at the University of Tartu. His great interest in Livonians and the Livonian language, Livonian ethnography and folklore developed during this expedition. The Livonian folklore collection is valuable material concerned with the Livonian language and culture. The materials were mostly collected in the 1920s from 12 Livonian villages. The article provides an overview of the collection that physically consists of folders and file boxes in quarter format. The materials include both Livonian folklore texts and their translations. An important component part is the Livonian ethnographic dictionary. In 2013, the digitalization of materials started. The entire physical collection and its partially digitized materials are available to anyone interested.

The Internet archives kept by heritage libraries are analysed, focusing specifically on that new type of expression characteristic of web culture and digital folklore, the meme. Five paradigmatic examples of heritage institutions engaging in web archive initiatives are explored: the Library of Congress, British Library, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Biblioteca Nacional de España and National Library of Australia. Specific assessment categories are defined for the study. The findings reveal a lack of collection policies for such representative objects of today’s mass culture and identify the challenges both for the custodial institutions and for research in the future.

The Folklore Archive at the Rovira i Virgili University (URV) is a university archive. The materials it stores are products of the fieldwork conducted by students on the Catalan Studies programme and the work done by professors researching into folk literature. From the year of its creation to the present, the Archive has adapted to the needs of the society of which it is a part. The present article discusses two issues. First, it explains how the results from our university research are transferred from the Archive to society (web, specialized digital resources, social networks, etc.). And second, it describes a specific activity entitled La ciutat a cau d’orella (The whispering city), which focuses on legends and involves several entities in Tarragona (city hall, public library, schools, youth organizations, writing workshops, etc.). This activity can be regarded as a way of developing mutual relations between the academic world and the general public.

This work is the first attempt to restore the combat path of a common soldier Ivan Ivanovich Cherkasov. He fought on the Northern, Leningrad, 3rd Baltic, and 1st Ukrainian fronts. The work is based on a wide range of archival materials, most of which are introduced into the scholarship for the first time. Documents from the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense, and the National Archive of the Republic of Karelia, Folklore Archive of the Institute of Language, Literature and History of the Karelian Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences National Archives of the Republic of Karelia, Central State Archives of Historical and Political Documents, Central State Archives of St Petersburg were used in the study. In conclusion, the author states that Ivan Ivanovich Cherkasov in the rank of a common soldier witnessed almost the entire Great Patriotic War — as a shooter in the combat composition of rifle units, in the infantry (the only exception was the period from August to September 1941 when soldier Cherkasov was the commander of a mortar crew). The service in army units was interrupted five times by wounds received in battles, and each time Ivan Ivanovich got back in line. His combat career began in the 2nd Leningrad Division of the People’s Militia; then there were the 168th and 128th rifle divisions. He served in the latter from the summer of 1942 to May 1945.

Full textAbstract:
The article explores Adyghe (Circassian) landscape terminology and folklore toponymy, areas that have received limited attention in onomastics. It presents a pioneering analysis within Adyghe linguistics and folklore research, examining the peculiarities of geographical terms and toponyms in stereotypical oral texts, including traditional folklore and everyday speech practices. The study is based on data from the folklore subcorpus of the Adyghe linguistic corpus, compiled in 2022 by Adyghe State University researchers, comprising published materials and field data collected from Adyghe (Circassian) communities in the Republic of Adygea, Krasnodar Region, and the Circassian diaspora in Turkey. Additionally, materials from folklore and ethnographic archives of the Republic of Adygea, along with information extracted from personal archives and field records, are analysed. Based on this data, the authors identify fundamental models governing the formation and usage of terms and toponyms, both within the context of folklore landscape studies and in relation to real geographical features and cultural settings. The focus is primarily on lexemes commonly encountered in historical Circassia, such as ps(y) ‘water, river,’ xy ‘sea, gully,’ ko/kue ‘ravine, river,’ bgy ‘hill, mountain, peak, ridge, steep, cliff,’ kushxe/kushhx`e` ‘mountain,’ txy` ‘elevation, ridge, crest of the mountain,’ Iuashxe/Iuashhxe ‘mound, hill,’ and xe`ku ‘region, homeland, fatherland, edge, country, state’. Through corpus research and discourse analysis methods, the study examines the representation of both real and mythical landscape objects in epic texts and speech practices. The productivity of toponyms’ usage and their semantics are established by comparing data from early lexicographic sources with new archival and field materials. The article also illustrates how, in new linguistic contexts, such as the Circassian diaspora in Central Anatolia, the unofficial local map coexists with the administrative Turkish-language map, showcasing differences in landscape terminology frequency based on the presence or absence of specific geographical features.

Full textAbstract:
The relevance of the research is due to the fact that the musical and folklore heritage of V. F. Odoevsky is of great value for modern musicology, since it contains many unique recordings of Russian folk songs and songs of 26 other ethnic groups. V. F. Odoevsky is the first folklorist who recorded song folklore in a scientific way. His recordings are the first reliable examples of folklore in the history of Russian musicology. At the same time, the archives of V. F. Odoevsky are practically not studied. The article examines the publications of B. B. Granovsky, since this scientist has been deciphering materials from the archive of V. F. Odoevsky for many years and introducing them into scientific circulation. The article considers that these publications reveal the style of the scientific method of V. F. Odoevsky, which is of great value in the study of the history and development of Russian ethnomusicology. Thanks to the works of B. B. Granovsky, rare songs of the peoples of Russia, which were recorded by V. F. Odoevsky, have been studied. In addition, the article shows that B. B. Granovsky not only deciphered many archival recordings of V. F. Odoevsky, but also published them in a musical collection of Russian folk songs.

This article is devoted to the presentation of the manuscript stored in the State Archive of the Kostroma Region. The topicality of this work is explained, firstly, by the importance of introducing unpublished archival materials into scientific circulation and their critical analysis; secondly, by the need to assess the painstaking work of collectors of folklore and ethnographic materials in the XIX – beg. XX century – folklorists, ethnographers, correspondents of regional scientific societies, representatives of rural intelligentsia (teachers, priests), etc. The author’s focus is the manuscript “Wedding in Songs and Rites (in Kostroma County)” compiled from materials of the Kostroma Scientific Society for the Study of the Local Territory and the Kostroma Scientific Archival Commission; physical, graphic, and meaningful features of the manuscript are analyzed. Folklore material mainly a spoken repertoire – speeches and rhymes of wedding ranks and participants of the ritual (groomsman, brother of the bride, girls – friends of the bride, natives) is characterized, the proportion of which exceeds the number of texts of other genres (lamentations and songs). The latter circumstance distinguishes the manuscript from a large number of handwritten materials stored in different archives of Russia. The stylistic features of folklore texts are analyzed, some of these texts are rare and have no analogues in published collections and archival materials.
