Summary/Abstract: To a large extent, Ion Muşlea’s institutional work as Director of the Folklore Archive of the Romanian Academy in Cluj included a massive correspondence with his collaborators and associates with the purpose of collecting folklore, as well as with peers from the field from Romania and abroad. The present paper regards the correspondence Muşlea had with foreign folklore researchers and institutes between 1926-1966. The largest part of these letters in foreign languages are preserved today in the named archive and are yet to be published. We present an overview of the content and character of this corpus of letters and we illustrate it with 25 relevant letter examples in the appendices.
