The volume includes a list of ethnographic material/collections (texts, manuscripts, photos, videos, sound recordings) registered in the Archive during the years 2014-2019 (99 entries, accompanied by a thematic description of each one), deriving from researchers’ fieldwork, but also from contributions of students, school projects, amateur collectors, associations etc. In addition, it contains annual reports on HFRC activities (research projects, publications, congresses, etc.), a list of annual fieldwork missions and rich photographic documentation in color.
