Tekla Dömötör belongs to the generation of scholars who lived their lives and did their work under the turbulent historical conditions of the 20th century. Fanni Svégel presents the professional work of the first female chair of the Folklore Department of the Eötvös Loránd University, a prominent scholar of Hungarian folkloristics recognized at the European level, through her legacy kept in the Archives of the Institute of Ethnology.
In the last year, the comprehensive revision and planned (re)arrangement of the Archives of the Institute of Ethnology of the RCH began with great momentum. In the coming weeks, we will post reports from our colleagues on the exciting work going on here. The project is presented by János Bednárik and Anna Szakál.
