Vanchikova Ts. P. Folklore Heritage of the Buryats in the Funds of the COMX and Problems of its Research and Conservation // Культурное наследие монголов: коллекции рукописей и архивных документов. Сборник докладов IV международной научной конференции. 18—19 апреля 2019 г. Улан-Батор. СПб.; Улан-Батор. 2021 г. С. 35–42.
The article deals with the problems of studying and preserving the folklore
heritage of different ethnic groups of Buryats, which is an integral part of the
spiritual culture of the Mongolian-speaking peoples, and the global cultural
heritage in general. The relevance and importance of the study is determined
by the fragile and perishable nature of traditional forms of folklore, especially
connected with oral traditions, subject to the danger of extinction under
the influence of various factors, which requires immediate measures for its
study and preservation. The novelty of the article lies in the introduction into
scientific circulation of information about one of the most complete collections
of monuments of Buryat folklore stored in the funds of the Center of Oriental
manuscripts and xylographs of the Institute for Mongolian, Buddhist and
Tibetan studies of the SB of the RAS (hereinafter COMX). The main aim of the
article is to review the unique archival audio materials of the COMX in order
to identify the complex of monuments of the Buryat people's folklore heritage
and their account for its subsequent preservation.
