Center of Scientific Information
Center of Scientific Information contains large collections of documents. Their value places them among the most important sources for the ethnographic research in the Czech Republic. The history of collections goes back to the 1st half of the 19th century. They were created through organized collecting and field research. These funds are constantly expanded by the research by the Institute’s scholars, donations from amateur collectors, gifts, and purchases. The main task of the Center of Scientific Information is to provide information services to the Institute’s researchers as well as to other visitors.

Documentary collections and archive fonds of Institute of Ethnology Czech Academy of Sciences
- are designated as archival cultural relics and listed in the register of national archival heritage under No. 901100270
The documentary collections and the archive fonds (the archive/record groups) deposited in the Institute of Ethnology Czech Academy of Sciences are mostly written records. Due to historical context - Institute of Ethnology was preceded by the State Institute for Folk Song, then the Departments for Folk Song and for Ethnography of the Academy of Sciences and later on the Institute for Ethnography and and Folklore Studies - these fonds are thematically primarily folkloristic, both verbal and music, and personal inheritance of founders as well as eminent experts on Czech and Czechoslovak ethnology. Nevertheless, the same importance in the archive have collections and thematic fonds of institutional or purely private nature.
In the archive of Prague’s Institute of Ethnology CAS are deposited also video and audio records from documentary activity of the individual departments of the institute. Among the largest fonds belong photo documentation and personal fonds – inheritances.
