Abstract

The article covers the historiography of the late of ХХth century concerning ethnological activity of I. Franko. In this period are formed the basic approaches to assessing the scientific heritage of the scientist as an ethnographer and folklorist. In the literature at this time the basic approaches to an estimation of scientific activity of I. Franko are formed. At the same time, his ethnological scientific achievements are not always properly evaluated. Exceptions can only be made to reviews of ethnographic and folkloristic research in printed editions of Shevchenko Scientific Society in Lviv. Given the diversity of scientific interests of the scientist and his active socio-political activities, the ethnological component of his scientific research was mostly out of the attention of researchers of his work. But in the late XIX century the first estimates of his ethnological and folkloristic activity are observed. At this time, the first assessments of Ivan Franko as a developer of methodological materials for recording ethnographic data, his work as an editor and compiler of ethnographic collections of materials and also as a collector of ethnographic monuments.
