Time‐bound theories about the origin of the Finns
It is a well‐known fact that the present transforms the past at least as much as the past guides the present. The origins of the Finns can be reviewed from two perspectives; firstly, in terms of how local communities explained this question at different periods, and secondly, how the nation's scholarly community explained the matter. This article discusses the latter. I must stress that it simplifies the process it describes and does not rely on …
The Karsikko and Cross-Tree Tradition of Finland The Origins, Change and End of the Custom
According to an East -Finnish custom that came to an end around the beginning of the 20th century, the karsikko (conifer shorn of branches) and the cross-tree were prepared when the deceased was taken for burial. The Roman-Catholic Church and the Reformation introduced into folk beliefs the idea that the deceased did not journey all the way to the community of the dead. Restoring the social order of the community that had been disturbed by death …
The Deceased as an Issue of Museum Ethics
In Finland, museums differ from the archives maintained by authorities and from free copy libraries which preserve all material printed. In the case of museums, the only types of material automatically preserved are prehistoric objects and animals protected by law that have been found dead. Regarding all the other material to be preserved, the museum is forced to make choices: either keep it or dispose of it. This selective process is closely bou…
Finlands nya museilag och -förordning – museologins genombrott
Finlands nya uppdaterade museilag och -förordning trädde i kraft den 1 januari 2006. För museologer är det anmärkningsvärdaste att grundstudier i museologi nu nämns som ett kompetenskrav för museiyrket. I det följande beskrivs museiförfattningarnas utveckling från 1960-talet till nuet
The development of Finnish museums over the last forty years
The focus of this article is the development of Finnish museums since the 1970s, when the Ministry of Education started to understand the social benefits of museums as social memory organizations with activities of research and education. At this point in time the Ministry began actively developing the preconditions for museum work, the main ”tools” being several political museum committees which created a museum hierarchy and network, ensured st…

Museologi i Finland
Museology in Finland The development of museums was severely impended first by the Civil War of 1918 and then by the Second World War. However in 1923 the Finnish Museums Association had been formed, and museum training had a prominent place on its agenda. A training course was arranged in 1928. However in the 30's the complaint was made that the profession lacked a scientific basis. New efforts were made after the war, in 1948. In the 1950's and…
Solveig Sjöberg-Pietarinen, Museer ger mening - Friluftsmuseerna Klosterbacken och Amuri som representationer
Solveig Sjöberg-Pietarinen som i många år förestått Hantverksmuseet på Klosterbacken definierar sitt arbete, Museer ger mening - Fri- luftsmuseerna Klosterbacken och Amuri som representationer, som en doktorsavhandling i etnologi men med museologisk inriktning. Dessa två discipliners möjligheter att komplettera varandra får hon väl fram i det följande (s. 318): As an ethnologist I approach the museum as an expression of culture for the community …
John Aage Gjestrum till minne
John Aage nämnde ibland Johannes Sivesind som sin läromästare. Sivesind ledde museet i Toten kommun (med 25 000 invånare) åren 1954–1967. Under tonåren började John Aage hjälpa till där, och tog för sin framtid och sitt museitänkande avgörande intryck av Sivesind. När han 1977 själv blev chef för Totens museum – 24-årig, den yngste av museichefer i Norge! – kom han att utveckla museet till det mönster för ett lokalmuseums möjligheter som gjorde d…
C. R. Ehrström och Brahestad – ett stycke finsk museihistoria
Finlands generalguvernör Peter Brahe (1602-1680) främjade Finland på många sätt. Han grundade Åbo Akademi 1640, ett eget postverk och nio nya städer. En av städerna var hamnstaden Salo i Österbotten 6 mil sydväst om Uleåborg (grundad 1610) som grundades 1649. Staden fick sedan namn Brahestad (Fi. Raahe
