Ethnographica Jevsevjeviana
Edited by Ildikó Lehtinen
Introduction
Timofej Jevsevjev was an
elementary-school teacher who, from 1907 onwards, acted as a
Finno-Ugrian Society stipendiary scholar under the supervision
of U. T. Sirelius.
The subjects of the material collected
by Timofej Jevsevjev varied. As well as costumes, U. T.
Sirelius asked for material dealing with occupations, fishing,
hunting, cattle husbandry and bee keeping. In addition to
these, a significant proportion of the manuscripts deal with
buildings.
In Cheremis Buildings you can find 460
photos and drawings of Cheremis buildings from the years
1907–1913. The material includes cross and long sections,
floor plans, details, overviews and verbal descriptions.
