Summary/Abstract: Starting with Valvasor, in the present article the author lists some of the more prominent recorders and researchers of folk tradition in Bela Krajina up to the present, and indicates the topics of their numerous works. He also discusses ethnological fieldwork projects of Belokranjski muzej (Bela Krajina Museum) in Metlika which has had an ethnology department since its establishment in 1951, but acually employed a professional ethnologist as late as 1981. Finally, the author proposes some ethnological projects which should be carried out in Bela Krajina in the future, including the study of interethnic relations of Slovenes and neighboring Croats in economic, family-related and other aspects of everyday life.
