It is believed by many that ethnological studies, and the presentation and interpretation of those studies in museums and other institutions, should be concerned almost entirely with the unchanging ways of inward-looking, mainly rural communities. To many, the raw materials of folk life study are the obsolete techniques, the primitive artefacts and the redundant buildings of a people tied to the land and who never wandered far from their native areas. Many ethnologists have been overwhelmingly concerned with recording the minutiae of forgotten beliefs, redundant customs and obsolete techniques, and recording those members of society who really do not belong to the last quarter of the twentieth century
