The Romanian Ethnographic Atlas – the ethnographic research of the
Romanians outside Romanian borders (historical communities)
Aer had four progressive phases; 1. the elaboration of the methodology
and the ethnographical questionnaires (1967–1972); 2. the data collecting
in field researches (1972–1989); 3. the elaboration of the maps (1985–
2010); 4. the elaboration and the publishing of the Atlas (2003–2010).
In 2008 another level of the accomplishment of Atlas was achieved
by deciding to extend the researches by ethnographically investigating the
historical romanian communities close to the borders of romania. thus
the field researches in Bulgaria began when the project IDeI no. 868/2008,
supported by ueFISCSu-CnCSIS was won.
the researches will take place by countries, by investigating the
populations who speak romanian (the romanians from timoc and the
Danube area, the dialectal groups – A-romanians, Megleno-romanians,
Istro-romanians – the rudarii/băieşii, the romanians from republic of
Moldova, from hungary, ukraine, russia and so on).
the first chosen state was Bulgaria, where the questionnaires of Feasts
and Customs were applied in 11 settlements in timoc area (Vidin region)
