Sažetak
Dr. Danica Pinterović, a prominent historian and archaeologist of the Museum of Slavonia, dedicated the beginning of her work as a curator to ethnology. In the period when there were no ethnologists and no interest for ethnology in the Museum, when rural areas started abandoning the last traces of traditional life and way of dressing, she initiated a three-year field research of the culture and customs of Croats in Baranya, along with collecting ethnographic materials about them. Except for Baranya, she acquired materials from other areas and formed a small, but significant ethnographic collection. The collection was the basis for the foundation of Ethnography Department by the first employed ethnologist Zdenka Lechner in 1952.
Her ethnologic work was well prepared and organized, documented in work diaries, followed by drawings and photography from the field. She almost always visited the field in the company of her work colleague Adela Stošić and she helped other colleagues (Josip Leović, Jovan Gojković, Hilda Hečej, and others) become established, together with the external associate and professor of music Stjepan Stepanov, in the field of musicological research and keeping records of the materials. In the field, she built a network of ethnographic storytellers and associates, from whom she learned about some of the last examples of traditional practices of open hearth. As a result of her research, she published the first systematic and scientific text about the history and traditional life of Croats in Baranya “Etnografske karakteristike hrvatskih sela u Baranji“ (“Ethnographic Characteristics of Croatian Villages in Baranya“) published in Osječki zbornik (Osijek Journal) in 1954. Even though she almost completely abandoned ethnology in 1949 when she became the Museum director, she remained a recognized member of the Croatian branch of Yugoslav Ethnological Society, today known as the Croatian Ethnological Society.
