Since 1972, the District Homeland Museum (Okresní vlastivědné muzeum) for the district of Karviná with its seat in Český Těšín has been publishing Studies on Cieszyn Silesia. The new printed material offered publication opportunities for the professional community, especially for more comprehensive historical, linguistic, ethnographic studies which have not been suitable for the
non-fiction nature of the magazine Těšínsko (Cieszyn Silesia) due to their extent and scope. The thematic range of the ethnographically conceived contributions is very wide, ranging from memoirs to text editing, bibliography, texts thematically covering
material and non-material cultures. Essays of some homeland specialists and chroniclers are also beneficial. Since the first issues of the Studies on Cieszyn Silesia were designed as internal museum materials, awareness of their content is very low. Therefore, J. Veselská prepared a selective bibliography of ethnographically conceived papers in this publication.
