The work of the ethnologist and sociologist Jozef Obrebski on Macedonian folk culture was not known in Macedonia until now. But recently his three books have been published, as well as the album of photographs of Porech in the 1930s. Thanks to these publications we know more on Macedonian folk life in the first part of the 20th century. Thus, very valuable material from the Archives of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, USA will enrich Macedonian folklorists, anthropologists and sociologists, as it contains a treasure of theoretical thoughts and methodological ideas. Folklorists will find unique and original material, e.g. songs performed with different customs, legends, especially those in honor of Prince Marko, etc. Ethnologists will discover illustrative material containing folk customs and their origin, descriptions of dreams, blessings and the curses, beliefs in magic, especially in health magic. The sociologist will discover distinct sociological data on the rural Porech life, while the theologist will get some information related to the pre-Christian religion, influence of religion over the group, relations between social structure of the village and ritual activities. The science of the law will find some data about the customary law and morality of behavior.

Jozef Obrebski investigated the family in Polesie as ethnologist and sociologist and he described the problem in both diachronic and synchronic approaches. He emphasized the ethnic aspect in connection with the processes of modernization of the traditional society and cultural system in this territory. Obrebski was particularly interested in the transformations in the Polesie traditional family. He analyzed the problem in his works 'Polesie archaiczne' and 'Panska szkola i muzyckie dzieci', both written on the basis of his ethnosociological expeditions to Polesie in 1934-37. J. Obrebski analyzed the big traditional family and its patriarchal structure as the basis of economic and social life in the traditional peasant society and main resource of its traditional culture. His works are very valuable for modern investigations of the Polesie family, due to rich factual material which the author obtained from his respondents, and cited in detail. His description of the system of big traditional family became the excellent example of the functional analysis in the investigation of such problems, especially some processes of the disintegration of the traditional family.

In 1934, Jozef Obrebski commenced his collaboration with the Institute for the Study of Nationalities (IBSN) in Warsaw, which he successfully continued until World War II. Under the auspices of the IBSN and its associates, Obrebski developed a broad range of academic activities which included his fieldwork in the region of Polesie in Eastern Poland in 1934-1937. This project resulted in a series of articles by Obrebski in major Polish journals; two of these, 'The Ethnic Problem of Polesie' and 'The Present Inhabitants of Polesie', appeared in 'Sprawy Narodowościowe', a bi-monthly published by the Institute. Moreover, within the framework of this institution, Obrebski delivered a series of lectures on 'Static and Dynamic Approaches in Ethnic Studies', and, as its representative, participated in major meetings of sociologists in pre-war Poland. In 1936, he was nominated member of the Institute, alongside many eminent personalities. The period between 1934 and 1939 occupies a prominent place in Obrebski's career, by virtue of his achievements in ethnography and sociology, in particular. It brought him recognition based on his most significant study of Polesie, done in collaboration with the Warsaw Institute.

Sociology underwent major changes between both World Wars. Empirical sociology began to dominate and field work conducted according to the methodology of the Chicago School was developing. Similar changes also took place in Polish sociology where developments were influenced by Florian Znaniecki's sociological school in Poznan. This was also a period of intensive development in ethnological research, due to Bronislaw Malinowski's seminar in the London School of Economics which was attended by many Polish ethnologists and sociologists. The young generation of social scientists soon dominated sociological research. Among the most important of them were sociologist Jozef Chalasinski, a student of Znaniecki, and ethnologist Jozef Obrebski, a disciple of Malinowski. New developments in field research allowed these two to meet and to cooperate in the field of empirical sociology.
