Summary/Abstract: An old subject, folk costume, remains in the attention of researchers either because not enough has been written yet, or because it raises disputes, but also because the evolution of costume is a continuous process. With regard to southern Transylvania, Nicolae Dunăre's contributions are an important bibliographical landmark, his volume Portul popular din zona Târnavelor (Popular costume in the Târnavelor area) continuing to be mentioned in specialized works. As far as the Târnavelor area is concerned, we can also mention the research carried out by Cornel Irimie who, in addition to his origins in the Hârtibaciului Valley, was also the one who laid the foundation stone of the Folk Technical Museum, today the ASTRA Museum. As regards the controversial topic of the contribution of the Roma to the history of the "iei cu altiță", Vintilă Mihăilescu proposed an anthropological perspective on the body and clothing of Roma women in Romania. Thus, with the evolution of the port, it can be observed that the perspectives from which this theme is approached are also constantly changing.Eugen Vaida, coordinator of the "Ambulance of Monuments" project and of the MONUMENTUM Association, is the coordinator of a volume published in 2021 in Alțâna. The group of authors who have worked on the realization of this volume is composed of names of resonance: Ligia Fulga, Mirela Crețu, Doina Ișfănoni, Ioana Corduneanu, Elena Găvan, Eugen Vaida, Sebastian Paic. From the very first meeting, the volume creates a special impression: the cover presents a title, presents a portrait photo, presents an ethnicity, presents a shirt with a hat and "a camera from the front". Saving the culture of the other. The research of the altita intacted yayas of the Hârtibaciului Valley is a project co-funded by AFCN funds in the second session of 2021, and the volume is the fruit of this research project.
