Česká národopisná společnost

The first number of Národopisný věstník českoslovanský was issued in 1906 by The Society of Ethnographic Museum. Národopisný věstník českoslovanský substituted the previously published periodicals: Národopisný sborník českoslovanský (Czech-Slavonic Miscellany of Folklore Studies) and Věstník Národopisného muzea českoslovanského (Journal of Czech-Slavonic Ethnographical Museum). The editor-in-chief of the editorial office of the Národopisný věstník českoslovanský (Czech-Slavonic Ethnographical Journal) was Jiří Polívka. The main purpose of the new professional journal was not only to inform about the activities of the Folklore Museum and the Czech Ethnological Society but also to publish fundamental studies on folk culture. Attention was also paid to reviews and surveys of contemporary ethnographic literature.
