Abstract

The Swedish folklore collector Eva Wigström collaborated in the 1890s with the young artist and illustrator Gisela Trapp. They both lived in Helsingborg in the south of Sweden and shared many interests, despite a difference in age of about 40 years. In this article we are introduced to Wigström’s work as an author and folklore collector, and the cooperation between the two women is described. Wigström also inspired Gisela Trapp to collect folklore, and the difference in their backgrounds is discussed, as are the differences in how their personal papers have been archived and how this has affected what we know today about their work. The role of non-scholars in research is also discussed.
