The history of Czech ethnography in the period of occupation is one of the longtime ignored topics. This chapter in the discipline’s history has aroused the researchers’ interest only recently. Yet still the idea prevails that the closure of Czech universities was equal to the decline of all ethnographic activities in the Czech lands. This statement is valid only to a limited degree, and if we include activities of Czech- German colleagues in the domestic ethnographic tradition, then this image radically changes. The submitted study aims to point out the fact that the German-language variant of the discipline, but under diverse period names and in combination with other disciplines, experienced research and institutional growth. It developed in reformed and newly founded institutions. However, the flourishing of ethnographic departments and the growth of discipline’s prestige was redeemed by its strong ideologization and political instrumentalization. In the context of several particular research projects, the text pays special attention to the Sudeten-German Institute for the Research into Country and Folk with the seat in Liberec.

The post-Munich period divided Moravian museums intro three administrative units. In addition to common problems (museum network centralization), certain Nazi elements penetrated their presentation activities. Understanding of ethnographic issue often remained in old, fiercely nationalistic attitudes. During the protectorate, a special status was assumed by German museums that through the Association of Moravian Museums sought to encourage ethnographic efforts of Czech museums in Moravia with a goal to create tendencies centrifugal from the Czech national environment. The takeover of German-Moravian museums by the Czechoslovak administration in 1945 did not mean the end of the activities of Moravian Germans in the area. They were transferred to the area of the Federal Republic of Germany and to Austria where they not only played an important role in the integration of this group into local society but also as a strong evidence of the past life they recalled and still recall the lost homeland.

The study, based on original and unused archive materials, aims to describe and analyze the development of the ethnographic department of the National Museum in years 1918-1938, in the context of contemporary ethnographic science and museology transformations as well as socio-political conditions. A separate ethnographic department of the National Museum was established in 1922, when the museum’s existing ethnographic collection was merged with the treasures of the Czechoslavic Ethnographic Museum. This unification was a manifestation of the centralist tendencies of Czech interwar museum management. Another such tendency - strong political influences on cultural institutions - was represented by an unsuccessful attempt to further unite thus created entity with the collections of the Czechoslovak Agricultural Museum. In context of the entire Museum’s development, some interesting features of the department’s development can also be mentioned: under the leadership of Václav Fabian and Drahomíra Stránská, later one of the key figures of Czech interwar ethnography, the department became a pioneer of short-term exhibitions, and a picture archive was an integral part of the ethnographic collection from the very beginning. Certain scientific projects in the department were important in terms of the development of ethnography (an attempt to establish an open-air folk museum), but they also had a significant political aspect (moving the Greek-Catholic church from the Carpatho-Ruthenian town Medvedovce to the Kinský Garden complex).

This text discusses the history of the Ethnographic Department during the 1938–1948 period, i.e., chiefly during the Second World War and the Third Czechoslovak Republic. There was the significant shift in the ideological concept of the National Museum, as the institution progressed from the ideology of Czechoslovakism to defence of the Czech nation, and it was also necessary to deal with the pervading Nazi ideology and its specific manifestations (e.g., Germanization and Aryanization). On a practical level, the department primarily had to cope with a lack of space, as well as the gradual loss of and the fluctuations in staff. The fate of Drahomíra Stránská, who was a key figure in the museum’s ethnography, is also discussed. On a conceptual level, the department did not advance much and remained at the level of descriptive or comparative ethnography with an emphasis on other Slavic nations and the domestic environment.

Text se zabývá dějinami Národopisného oddělení v letech 1938 – 1948, tedy především v letech II. světové války a tzv. třetí republiky. Výrazně se posunula ideologická rovina existence NM, od idejí čechoslovakismu přešla instituce k obhajobě českého národa a bylo také třeba se vyrovnat s pronikající ideologií nacistickou a jejími konkrétními projevy (germanizace, arizace). V praktické rovině se oddělení potýkalo především s nedostatkem místa a postupně také s tenčícím se personálním zabezpečením či jeho nestabilitou. Pozornost je směřována také na osudy klíčové osobnosti muzejní etnografie, Drahomíry Stránské. V rovině konceptuální se oddělení příliš neposouvalo a zůstávalo na pozicích popisného či srovnávacího národopisu s důrazem na ostatní slovanské národy, případně na domácí prostředí.

The starting point for considering the possibilities of using folklore sources in historical research is the ambiguity of the term "folklore" and the multitude of interpretative perspectives appearing on the grounds of Polish folklore studies. Following the historical development of interest in this subject in various fields of the humanities, the author tries to answer the question of why "knowledge of the people" has long been underestimated in the historical discourse and under what circumstances it was incorporated into scientific considerations. Recognizing the cognitive potential of folklore, the author presents its shortcomings as a historical source and postulates the necessity for the use of folkloristics methods in the historical analysis of such materials.
