Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of ethnological research in Finland. In Nordic ethnology, the terms the modern era or present epoch are current expressions and have been used in different works to designate the time that is within living memory. At least in Finland, there has not often been a conscious attitude toward a moving of the time limit nearer to the present. It is also said that in Finland, the modern era has now also made its entry in ethnological research, but this is because of the inevitable forward movement of the times. In Finland, the old traditional view of ethnology as a discipline dealing with the old peasant culture and carrying on pure research on objects under historical aspects has been firmly rooted and still is so among the general public.
