Description:
The Ethnographic Society has been working for more that one hundred years - since 1893.

The society played an important role in the successful presentation of ethnographic materials in the great Czechoslavonic Ethnographic Exhibition in 1895. These materials were aftewards stored in the Ethnographic Museum, opened in 1896 in Prague under the administration of L. Niederle. Since 1922 the collections have been in charge of the National Museum. - The Czechoslavonic Ethnographic Society has been publishing the (Czechoslavonic) Ethnographic Bulletin since 1897 and has been operating its own library. - Till the early 1960 the Czechoslavonic Ethnographic Society was the only voluntary organization in the field of ethnography and folklore studies. In 1956 its name was changed to Czechoslovak Ethnographic Society., Moreover, the other society, which associated especially professional ethnographers, was founded in 1958 under the name Society of Czechoslovak Ethnographers of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences. In 1962 both societies merged into the Czechoslovac Ethnographic Society of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences. The subjectivity of the Society and its financial resources were reduced, but both its members and correspondents continued in their work and the Buleltin was published regularly. - Since 1993 (after the split of Czechoslovakia) the Society is called Ethnographic Society. New statutes of the organization were accepted in 1999. The supreme executive body of the Society is formed by the general assembly, the central committee has nine members.

Subject:
folk architecture, preservation of architecture, and open-air museums
Language:
Czech
Description:
The interest in folk architecture dates back to the second half of 19th century. The Czechoslavonic Ethnographic Exhibition played an important role, but most projects of preservation of architecture were not carried out. The law from 1958 codified the preservation of settlement wholes; many individual folk buildings were to be preserved as well. Ony after 1989 a positive approach of state authorities towards folk architecture became visible. As early as in 1990, 20 preservation zones were declared in southern Bohemia; in 1995 60 new zones in the whole area of the republic were declared. Besides the approach reffering preservation of individual outstanding objects in their original localities, the method of conservation of some monuments by their transfer to the specialized open-air museums was implemented as well. The largest and the oldest one is the open-air museum in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm.opened in 1925. Other smaller museums of this kind came into being as late as in 1960s and 1970s (in Přerov nad Labem, Vysočina near Hlinsko, Třebíz near Slaný, Kouřim, Strážnice (south-eastern Moravia), Zubrnice (northern Bohemia), Rymice near Kroměříž, and others. Several similar museums are in the state of preparation (Chanovice and Velhartice near Klatovy, Vysoký Chlumec near Příbram). The present legislature gives several possibilities of preservation of folk architecture. The implementation of preservation plans is supported by state subsidies, various local as well as international programmes. and Anglický abstrakt s šifrou (št) je uveden na str. 199-200.
