Although there is no published index of Serbian folktale types, indexing has been done on some other occasions: as part of the editing tale collections for publication process or as part of the research of specific tale types or folklore of certain regions. This important work is scattered in various publications, some of them already old or not readily accessible to researchers. The aim of this project is to present all that indexing work in the digital form and make it available to Serbian and international folklorists. The scope of the material provided includes edited collections accompanied by indices (Milošević-Djordjević, Samardžija), old published collections indexing (Samardžija), the tales indexed by students as part of their BA and MA studies, and the materials indexed by the project members for their PhD research. The details on these works may be found under the “Research” section of this website. In next stage the tales not indexed so far will be indexed and included.
