A year before that, the ICA-SUV had welcomed folklore research archives into its constituencies, thus, a logical and meaningful choice was to focus the meeting in Latvia on the folklore archives (or, in the broader sense, tradition archives) and archival methodology regarding the intangible cultural heritage. The conference Cultural Heritage Materials–University, Research and Folklore Archives in the 21st Century was organized in cooperation with the National Archives of Latvia and the Archives of Latvian Folklore, Institute of Literature, Folklore and Art of the University of Latvia. The topics of the conference offered for further debate were the following: (1) cultural heritage materials: foundations and definitions; (2) born digital materials—appraisal and processing for small archives; (3) description and use of archives—Records in Contexts (RiC) standard; and (4) respectful stewardship and engagement with creator communities. A wide variety of theoretical and practical issues as well as relevant case-study experiences were discussed in 17 papers presented by researchers and archivists. Both folklore and ‘traditional’ archivists provided their intellectual contribution to the debate. This issue of the journal Letonica is a collection of articles based on the papers presented at the ICA-SUV 2017 Conference in Riga. Unfortunately, not all the presentations have turned into research articles. The contributions are of different scopes and lengths, respectively, along with scrutinized academic articles, there are others which are written in a more report-like style. They are arranged in alphabetical order by the authors’ names. Harry Bawono (Indonesia) addresses the question of the role the institutional archives have in protecting and preserving traditional knowledge and reveals the topic through the case-study of Indonesia. The joint article ofFlavio Carbone and Francesca Nemore (Italy) reveals the recent discoveries they have made while examining the archive of the Italian paleographer and diplomat Vincenzo Federici (1871–1953). Bryan Giemza (USA) illuminates the complex set of privileges and the challenges of the community-driven archives which he metaphorically compares to gardens. He presents the model of inter- course between community and institutional archive practiced at the Southern Historical Collection, a division of Wilson Special Collections Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Lauri Harvilahti (Finland) discusses the contextual paradigm in standardization at the tradition archives. The Records in Contexts and the Finnish 8 Foreword Conceptual Model for archival description is at the centre of attention in the article by Pekka Henttonen and Jaana Kilkki (Finland). The RiC Conceptual Model is discussed also in an article by Karsten Kühnel (Germany) who questions the concept of authenticity in describing archival materials. Based on the example of Thomas Whittemore’s and the Byzantine Institute’s
