Abstract
The paper suggests an analysis of an important moment in the history of Romanian ethnology, namely the institutionalization of such researches in Cluj-Napoca by means of founding the Folklore Archive of the Romanian Academy, from the perspective of the relationships between the main pawns in this process: Sextil Puşcariu and young researcher Ion Muşlea. In achieving the purposes of this paper, I used both classical sources (scientific works of the two), as well as correspondence, an unedited part which Ion Muşlea and Sextil Puşcariu had written between 1925 and 1941.
Keywords: Sextil Puşcariu, Ion Muşlea, The Folklore Archive of the Romanian Academy, correspondence, institutional construction.
