Description:
The end of the century was the cause to publish this anniversary ethnographic Yearbook. The yearbook informs about the history of the Ethnographic Society that was founded in Prague in 1891. Its development was a mirror of the development of all social sciences in the troubled waters of the twentieth century. After the report on the Ethnographic Society comes the chapter on ethnographic university departments and research centres. It is followed by informations about ethnographic periodicals, bibliography, and the preservation of monuments. The user can also find * informations about museums with ethnographic collections. The address of the museum is always concluded. An individual person can be found in the Register of Czech Ethnographers and Folklorists. It informs you about the date and place of birth, education, address of work and home, specialization. The Ethnographic Society has a netwok of correspondence. Although they change, some of them remain for a long time, and send the outcome of their research to the archives of the society, so that they enrich the professional quarters. The yearbook gives you the names and addresses of the current correspondents The yearbook is closed with the picture appendix that contains the works awarded in the Most-Important-Deed-in-the-Field Survey. Since it was not possible to get the informations from all institutions or individuals that were wanted, we apologize for possible incompleteness. It is not our fault. We hope that this anniversary yearbook is the first step of the future tradition of regular evaluating yearbooks. and Anglický abstrakt s šifrou (lv) uveden na str. 192.
