description: Castrén’s aim was to find the original homeland of the Finns. He approached this question with the aid of linguistics, folklore, archaeology, and history. Castrén was appointed Docent of Finnish and Ancient Nordic Languages and Tribes at the Imperial Alexander University in Helsinki in 1841, and ten years later he became the first Professor of the Finnish Language. As an academic professor, he emphasized the scholarly community’s duties to society outside of academia. This volume contains Castrén’s archaeological and historical writings as well as texts connected to his activities as a university professor.

description: M.A. Castrén considered ethnology as a historical science and an instrument for describing the early periods of Finnish history. On his expeditions, he carried out ethnographic observations and took notes of the dwellings, costumes, way of life, and customs of indigenous Siberian peoples. According to the programme drafted by the Imperial Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences, Castrén collected ethnological artifacts for the Ethnographic Museum in Saint Petersburg, and some items for the Ethnographic Museum of the University of Helsinki. The present work concentrates on the collections which describe Castrén’s merits in ethnological studies and museology. The primary sources of this publication are the artefacts in the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkamera) of Russian Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg and the Museum of Cultures / National Museum of Finland in Helsinki. Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkamera) of the Russian Academy of Sciences has published their collection on the website in the online catalogue.

Epistulae 1: Letters sent by M.A. Castrén
subject: Epistulae 1. Letters sent by M.A. Castrén. Edited by Timo Salminen & Juha Janhunen. Manuscripta Castreniana, Personalia I,1. 851 pp. ISBN 978-952-7262-25-2 (print) ISBN 978-952-7262-26-9 (online). 50 €.
description: M.A. Castrén continued the European tradition of expeditions in Russia but he was also able to fulfil the needs of the Imperial Russian administration for information about the Empire as well as the Finnish national movement’s request to explore the history of the Finnish people. Being far away from home brought about a massive need for him to stay in contact both with friends and relatives in Finland and with colleagues and official authorities at the Russian Academy of Sciences. The present volume brings together all the currently known letters written by Castrén, both official and unofficial (except his correspondence with his fiancée and future wife Natalia Tengström, which will be published in Epistulae 2). Most of the letters date from the years he spent in the field, but there are also letters written in Finland before and after his expeditions. Altogether, this volume contains 231 letters and some drafts written by Castrén in the 20-year period between 1832 and 1852. View the whole volume (pdf)
