Technologies, enabling to record findings obtained by open-field research, have marked the development of ethnology. The contribution deals with the penetration of modern technologies into research work methods employed by ethnologists since the middle of the 20th century up to the present. The focus is on the ethnological photography, drawings, the film and video documentation and the Internet. The authoress states three paradoxes that characterize the development of ethnology in the contemporary world of technologies. As it is in ordinary communication between people, the direct contacts between researcher and the informant become more and more often substituted by technological devices. The tendency of ethnologists to examine the contemporary society means not only to convert the new forms of communication into an object of their exploration but also to employ them as useful research tools in their scientific discipline.
