 The year 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the Attic Museum Society’s renaming to the Attic Museum and the commencement of its full-scale activities, serving as the predecessor of the ISJFC. What types of individuals have come together at the ISJFC, and what have they achieved in their research on the history and folklore of everyday life? We will retrace the past 100 years and consider where we are headed in the next 100.
