Folkloro kaupimo problemos ir tyrinėjimų kryptys Klaipėdos universitete

Abstract

The article deals with the problems related to the folklore accumulation and research directions in Klaipėda University. Folklre, ethnographical and dialectological data, accumulated in Klaipėda University, are archived and stored at the folklore laboratory and the folk art office of the Baltic Linguistics and ethnology Department of the Faculty of Humanities, at the foklore office of the Folk Music Department of the Faculty of Arts, and at the folklore archives of the choreography Department. Folklore offices are considered to constitute the material basis for the departments; the character of their work is closely related to the study programs implemented by the departments, i. e. these subdivisions perform several quite different functions, e. g. they serve the academic process, the research and creative needs of students and teachers, consult people interested in folk culture and archive materials collected during fieldwork sessions.
