Description

The Digital Catalogue of Latvian Charms consists of materials from the charm and folk medicine genres held within the Latvian Folklore Archives. The charm collection is largely made up of folklore materials submitted to the archive in the 1920s and 30s. The digital classification system consists of a division into functional groups according to charm type and allows user

s to search for charms by category or smaller distinctions in content and form.

The Digital Catalogue of Latvian Charms began to be formed in October 2017 and is co-financed within the framework of the European Regional Development Fund (No. 1.1.1.2/VIAA/1/16/217).
