Dynamic catalog of traditional music: online resources of ukrainian folklore and ethnography (access for 2022)

Abstract

In recent decades, the global Internet network has become a repository of academic knowledge from all areas of science. Domestic ethnographic disciplines (ethno-sciences) are no exception: publications of modern studies appear annually; the fund of digitized older editions made available for free access is replenished; archival recordings and special creative products inspired by traditional music are published.
 After the military attack on Ukraine, there has been an increase in the interest of Ukrainians and residents of democratic countries in the world in Ukrainian culture and music, in particular, in traditional music. This new demand raises the question of the availability of high-quality Internet information in this field not only for specialists, but also for a wide audience.
 By the end of 2022, a rapid increase in the number of high-quality electronic resources of various formats related to the study and popularization of Ukrainian folklore and ethnography has become noticeable.
 The mentioned factors pushed the author to the idea of compiling a catalog of folklore resources in the form of a dynamic electronic register, which will be constantly updated and supplemented.
 This list, with the working title "Dynamic catalog of traditional music", includes both the most authoritative electronic resources in the field of ethno-disciplines, which are progressive in terms of content, as well as little-known ("underground") sources, which, in the opinion of the author, also deserve the attention of academic specialists and teachers.
 This basic list of Internet links will primarily be needed by music school teachers (in the course of studying folk music of Ukrainians), students - ethnologists, ethnomusicologists, folklorists, historians, linguists - and their teachers, as well as those who practice, research and popularize traditional music . It will also be useful for those who want to discover traditional culture and implement ancient customs in their private or public life.
