Ellen Värv, Correspondents' contribution to the Estonian National Museum.
Created in 1909, the Museum remedied for its lack of means by calling on the services of local correspondents in order to constitute its collections. Since 1922 it was also sending questionnaires, especially to rural schools. The network of the Museum's correspondents was officially created in 1931: there were then two hundred of them. Since the late 1950's ethnographic research was taken up again in Estonia. Annual competitions to collect ethnographical material were organized mainly in the guise of questionnaires and investigations. At present the archives of the Museum comprise 311,526 pages classified into 599 volumes. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
