Extractions: Daguerreotype of a young couple, Hamburg, 1852 The Museum Europäischer Kulturen (Museum of European Cultures) is an important augmentation to Berlin's museums. Established in June 1999 it embraces the merged collections of the Museum für Volkskunde (Museum of Folklore) and the European holdings in the Museum für Völkerkunde (Museum of Ethnology) in Berlin. The concept of a museum of the history of European cultures complies with the present political situation: museums are endeavoured to play their role within the growing convergence of the European community. In its future collecting activity, research projects and exhibitions the Museum of European Cultures will trace cultural phenomena common to all of European lands and to specify their particular ethnic, regional and national characteristics. The Museum's first exhibition, "Cultural Contacts in Europe: the Fascination of Pictures", presents various aspects of the interrelation of European culture, as manifested in the production, dissemination and use of pictures. They demonstrate the reciprocal influence exerted by trade and travel, communication and confrontation. Pictures have traversed the boundaries of time and space, creating ties between the cultures.

P.M.A.: Ethnology
The Provincial Museum of Alberta Human History ethnology. The ethnology programinterprets the culture and history of the indigenous peoples of the world.
http://www.pma.edmonton.ab.ca/human/ethno/intro.htm

Extractions: Dene. Late 1800's. The Ethnology program interprets the culture and history of the indigenous peoples of the world. While the primary emphasis is on First Nations and Metis peoples of the Northern Plains and Subarctic, the collections feature materials from other regions of North America, particularly the western Arctic and Great Lakes, as well as Africa, Australia, and Japan. Objects in the collections date from the mid-1800s to the present. The Ethnology collections are an invaluable resource for a wide variety of people interested in Alberta's history and cultural diversity. Individuals researching family and community history regularly consult the collections, as do university students conducting research projects in the fields of anthropology, history, Native studies, and clothing and textiles. The public school system incorporates Ethnology program materials into its curriculum, and Ethnology staff responds to numerous inquiries about First Nations and Metis cultures from members of the public and cultural heritage professionals. Staff members work in partnership with First Nations and Metis communities on cultural heritage projects, and the Ethnology program manages a summer internship program in Museology for Aboriginal university students. Ethnology program staff played a major role in developing the Syncrude Gallery of Aboriginal Culture Horse mask.

Introductory Page - Uncle Remus History/Ethnology Research Project
History and ethnology research project of Joe Harris' tales of Uncle Remus; includes selected texts.
http://xroads.virginia.edu/~UG97/remus/remus.html

Extractions: On July 20, 1879 an undersized thirty-year-old journalist from Atlanta known as Joe Harris began a journey from relative obscurity to interregional fame. On that day, the Atlanta Constitution published the young copy editor's "Story of Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Fox as told by Uncle Remus." Within months, magazines across the country were reprinting his tales, and after more than 1,000 written requests for a collection, the first Uncle Remus book was published in November, 1880. At the time, Harris said his purpose was not ethnology, or folklore analysis, but simply documentation. He doubted that his stories and character sketches would have any lasting historical value. He was wrong. Uncle Remus: Social Context and Ramifications is an attempt to reintroduce Harris' tales, and his legendary narrator, while placing them in a historical context. The primary sources and commentaries we offer hopefully will shed light on Harris' purpose in publishing his stories and the public response to both his Remus tales and his other works. They will make observations about post-Civil War black culture, and Southern society in general, using the stories and the reactions they engendered as points of reference. Hopefully, this collection will offer other students of the South one or two new insights into the region's endlessly complex myths and meanings.
Ethnology In SIL

Extractions: Contents Training Research Selected articles Web links Developing cultural awareness by: Training in ethnology is designed to encourage intra- and inter-cultural awareness and to develop practical field research skills. Research is fostered by providing consultant help to SIL fieldworkers, by producing regional and international ethnography publications, and by developing research software tools and support. Training is vital to the work of SIL. SIL has been training field workers for over 60 years. Cross-cultural training is a natural outgrowth of SIL's original emphasis on applied linguistic field work, as it is an important ingredient for successful cross-cultural living. Most SIL schools have an intensive introduction to cultural anthropology and field methods. Also available are courses on cultural change and area studies. Instructors have MA or Ph.D. degrees from prominent universities throughout the world. In field situations, the Ethnology department provides workshops in a variety of ethnographic specialties: research techniques, cognitive studies, kinship studies, etc. These are critical for further professional development of field personnel and to encourage research production.

http://www.people.virginia.edu/~dnp5c/Victorian/jackson.html

Extractions: ETHNOLOGY is yet in its infancy. Its facts are altogether insufficient, and its hypotheses, whether as to the origin or relationship of races, are obviously inapplicable. It commenced in error, basing its speculations upon tradition rather than induction, mistaking the fictions of chronology for the facts of history, and endeavouring, as a result, to accommodate existing phenomena to a superstitious Past. It has even now scarcely outgrown this fallacious procedure. It has not yet learned the full evil of gratuitous assumptions. It is not sufficiently Baconian, and still worships and fondles its favourite idols. There are, thus, limits to speculation which forbid untrammelled freedom of thought, and the rising sun of philosophy still shines somewhat dimly through the mists and clouds of antiquated prejudice. Ethnology cannot stand alone; for its effectual prosecution, the aid of many other departments of learning and science is imperatively required. It demands Anatomy, Physiology, Phrenology, Physiognomy, and, we may add, Phtography. These, however, are only its primary and more immediate requisites.... Return to Chronological Map

Extractions: M U S E U M Archaeology and Ethnology Pages The Newfoundland Museum is the repository for all of the archaeological artifacts collected within the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Access to the collections is available to researchers by appointment with the Curator of Archaeology and Ethnology The Museum also works with many community museums to help them with their displays and requests to borrow artifacts The Archaeology and Ethnology Unit is always looking for volunteers. There are two main opportunities for volunteers interested in the archaeology program: the public education program, and assisting in the lab. The public education program involves teaching school groups about the prehistory and history of the Province. If you are interested in volunteering in the public education program, contact Bob Forsey (729-0661, bforsey@mail.gov.nf.ca Assisting in the lab will get you up close and personal with the archaeological objects recovered in the Province - a great opportunity for archaeology students or anyone curious about the Province's past to familiarize yourself with the Province's artifacts. It is best if you can regularly and consistently devote a morning or afternoon of your time. The tasks you will be doing will depend on the needs of the museum at the time and your particular skills and experience, but will likely include cataloging or helping organize the collections. If you are interested in volunteering in the lab, contact Elaine Anton.

Extractions: Ethnology A world of difference In the western world it is called waste. In poor countries people take a different view. Old car tyres are used to make practical objects such as water carriers or sandals. Old cans are converted into toys and oil lamps. The Museon has a find collection of 'second hand' objects. They make it clear how many people in poorer countries meet the challenge of simply trying to survive. The decorated man to all appearances Prince Bernard and fashion designer Frank Govers have little in common. But in the exhibition on adornment it comes to light that both men wear tattoos. People of all cultures adorn themselves, especially on occasions such as births, initiations, marriages and funerals. Impressive hats and jewellery from the Museon's own collection provide many illustration of this. Destiny in one's own hands Our knowledge is continually increasing. Still there are elements of lifte over which we have little or no control: the weather, the harvest, misfortune, illness, death . Many still see the hand of gods or spirits in these things.
