1906–1956
In 1906, it substituted the older Národopisný sborník českoslovanský [Czechoslavic Ethnographical Anthology]. Between 1914 and 1924, when the Český lid [The Czech Folk] journal was not published, it was the only central periodical of the discipline in Czechoslovakia. The continuous publishing of the Journal was interrupted in the 1930s by economic difficulties, and then by World War II. The post-war revitalization of the Journal was by order discontinued in 1956. Between 1906 and 1956, the Czechoslavic Ethnographical Journal had the following successive editors: Jiří Polívka, Jiří Horák, Karel Chotek and Drahomírá Stránská.
Older numbers of the Ethnographical Journal are not always available for all those interested in studying them. For this reason, it is possible to use the digitized form of the Czechoslavic Ethnographical Journal from the years 1906 through 1934 (1st through 27th-28th year) on the website of the National Institute of Folk Culture in Strážnice – in the open electronic library: the Digitized Ethnographical Journal.
