| For the wide 
        accessibility of the Folklore materials the Folklore Archives created a 
        computer 
        
        data base. 
        
         
          
        The aim of the creation 
        of the data base was to solve the problem of registration of the 
        manuscripts kept in the Archives. The old order was not efficient for 
        the determination of the common characteristics of the folklore 
        repertoire as well as for finding out necessary 
        materials for the research. Not having systematical searcher for receiving a little 
        information it was necessary to
        check a great amount of archives materials, which caused a damage of 
        the manuscripts kept in an unsuitable condition.      
         
          
        The main principles of 
        systematization of the materials and usage of the computer data base was 
        worked out according to the texts and appropriate scientific disciplines 
        (Folklore, Ethnology, Dialectology). 
          
        Thus the Archives 
        documents are described by 26 characteristics, among them are datum of 
        genres, plots, narrators, their birth data and place, sex, age, 
        education, job and etc. |
