Summary

In my doctoral dissertation I examine a few foreign researchers, who studied Finns and their culture from anthropological, linguistical and cultural point of views. These five researchers wrote most of their studies considering the Finns in the late 19th century, but I am also going to examine their actions especially in relation to the struggle for Finnish independence into the early years of the 20th century. Contrary to some other groups that were under study in the late 19th century, Finnish people were also active in many fields and had their own active reasons to co-operate with these foreign researchers. These transnational connections of the scientific actors also had many national motives and the researchers had to negotiate these sometimes competing national and international ideas.
