Since 1951, the Silesian Land Museum in Opava has been publishing its own journal. Ethnographic studies have been part of the journal’s focus from the very beginning. The studies cover museum collections in the territory of Silesia and also field documentation and research carried out in Silesia by distinguished Czechoslovak ethnographers (Drahomíra Stránská, Zdena Vachová, Josef Vařeka, etc.). A bibliography of these contributions from the years 1951-2001 was made up by Eva Ševčíková. All in all, 125 articles and studies were included. They cover ethnography but also related disciplines which touch folk culture or widen our knowledge of its historical forms. These articles were supplemented by 73 selected reviews devoted mostly to regional literature.
The work deals with the Ohlas od Nežárky weekly periodical. The periodical was being published in Jindřichův Hradec in 1871-1942. the aim of my article is to process ethnographically valuable articles published during the 72 years of Ohlas od Nežárky and to evaluate the periodical in quantitative and qualitative terms. In the article, I attempted to outline the concept of the weekly periodical, to delimitate its geographic and thematic scope and thus create a work that would help other researchers with orientation in this rich printed source.
