Abstract
Based on the analysis of available biographic data on Petar Bogdešić, his collaboration with national institutions in collecting ethnographic and folklorist writings, and his involvement in cultural and social events taking place in his places of work as teacher – in the period between 1882 and his retirement in 1924 (Dragovci; Brod na Savi; Krapina), the paper intends to shed more light on the fact that teachers as educational workers were actively involved in the process of shaping and enhancing national identity. This involvement was reflected in keeping record of the material, non-material and spiritual cultural heritage of the Croatian rural life based on instructions obtained and in collaboration with editors of publications that included the collected materials. Biographic data on Petar Bogdešić both as teacher and as active educational and cultural worker have been reconstructed on the basis of studies of the available sources. His etnographic and folklorist opus has, however, been reconstructed on the basis of the comparative analysis of two manuscripts, which are in in custody of the archives of the Division of Ethnology of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb.
