Inclusion and Exclusion of Roma in the Category of Finnish Folklore: The Collections of the Finnish Literature Society from the 1800s to the 2000s


 In this article, we examine the Folklore Archives of the Finnish Literature Society from the point of view of material on the Roma from the mid-1800s to the 2010s. The article demonstrates that the kind of material on the Roma that has been incorporated into the archives during various periods is indicative of not only changing interests in the study of folklore but also of the inclusions and exclusions carried out in the building of the Finnish nation and of the Roma's own choices in keeping secret or disclosing their traditions. The article also points to the partially random nature of the archival materials: materials that were not purposefully collected have also made their way to the archives.
