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.
