N2  - 
N2  - The Moravian Museum tracks the historical development of the scientific fields of anthropology and
archaeology as part of its professional activities. The library and archive of the anthropologist and museologist, Jan
Jelínek (1926–2004), who founded the journal Anthropologie in 1962, occupies an important place within its rich
collection. Jelínek's personal diaries, written in the years 1961–2001, often accompanied by rich photographic
documentation, are a very valuable part of the archive. This material has so far only been excerpted in part and
represents an extraordinary source from which information on the history of the institution and the personality of the
writer can be drawn. An example is also Jelínek's shorter ethnographically focused expedition to the Inner Eastern
Carpathians – the Maramures Mountains - in the northern part of Romania on July 8–29, 1975, to which this text is
dedicated.
