From the History of Ethnological Cartography

Summary/Abstract: Ethnological cartography has experienced a more rapid development only within last two decades; however, the beginnings of this kind of work in ethnology can be traced back to the contributions of the first theoreticians of this discipline from the end of the 19th century. The efforts of some linguists and folklorists of the same period to represent their research data cartographically also deserve to be mentioned. A significant number of linguistic atlases resulted from these efforts. The early works often misrepresented ethnological cartography as „the geographic method in ethnology“, or as „ethnogeography“. Pessler already tried to explain the relationship between geographic method and the sciences of geography and ethnology. The idea about drawing an ethnological atlas of Europe was born early, at the turn of the 20th century. The basic principles of this voluminous task were set somewhat later, and the work itself is still in progress, requiring the cooperation of a large number of European ethnologists.
