 Item — Box: Gen.36-37
Identifier: Coll-262/2/2

Scope and Contents

The book begins with various press cutting of letters to The Scotsman relating to a recent article by Lord Salvesen regarding the Scandinavian Influence in Scotland. During the period of this minute book two new organisations were set up and the Society played a part in both - The Scottish Archive for Ethnological, Folkloristic and Linguistic studies and The Institute of Anthropology, Edinburgh. The Scottish Archive took over the responsibility for the Campbell MSS Committee and the Anthropological Survey of Scotland. The Society contributed to the new periodical "The Journal of the International Association of Ethnological Studies (Volksunde) in North, Central and Western Europe" which later changed its name to "Folk" and organised the first congress the Association in Edinburgh in 1937. The minutes document reports from a variety of Committees on the progress of their projects. These include the Campbell MSS Committee, the Linguistic Survey Committee, the Folk Museum Committee, and the Congress Committee.
