Vistula - the most prominent Polish ethnographic journal, comprising 20 comprehensive volumes published between 1887 and 1916 and maintained at a European scientific level. The journal is a rich treasury of thousands of works, contributions and materials on ethnography and folklore of Polish, Lithuanian, Belarusian, Ukrainian and other Slavic nations. It is an indispensable source base for any subsequent work on the traditional material, spiritual and social culture of the Polish countryside. It contains numerous extensive monographs, often subsequently published in book form. In the pages of "Vistula" published a plethora of eminent ethnographers, as well as historians, geographers and sightseers of the Polish 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as hundreds of enthusiasts and lovers of their region (priests, landowners, nobles) who, at the appeal of the editors, sent often priceless, unknown from other sources, materials on their area. The journal is placed among the best ethnographic periodicals in Europe until the 1920s.
