Sažetak
The paper analyses the content and the importance of ethnographic and folklorist writings by the Croatian folk poet and ethnographer Ivo Čakalić (1889–1971), born in Doljanovci near Požega, in the context of his cooperation with Vinko Žganec and the Institute of Ethnology of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts. Though not academically educated, Ivo Čakalić was a keen reader and writer. He dedicated a major part of his life to recording old folk customs, sayings and folk songs thematizing miracles and events both from the lives of saints and from everyday life. Since he collaborated with many experts and intellectuals of his time, who encouraged him to record ethnographic and folklorist material, the most of his writings remained preserved. The handwritten legacy of Ivo Čakalić is presently in custody of several institutions in Zagreb, Požega, Osijek and Kaptol, as well as in private collections. The archives of the Division of Ethnology currently house twenty-one collection of manuscripts, mainly thanks to ethnomusicologist Vinko Žganec. The correspondence and the photographs taken by Žganec during field research conducted in Požega and its surroundings witness to the course of this collaboration. The fact that all of Čakalić’s writings have been digitized and published in the Academy’s digital repository serves as proof of their value and relevance.
