The article is devoted to the analysis of archive materials of two ethnographic expeditions conducted by A. M. Linevsky in the territory of central and northern Karelia in 1926 (Soroksky, Tungudsky, Segozersky and Rugozersky districts) and to the Pomor settlements Gridino and Kalgalaksha in 1944. Materials include field notes, diaries and manuscripts of the researcher’s articles from the Scientific Archives of Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the National Archives of the Republic of Karelia. During the expedition in 1926 A. M. Linevsky collected a significant information about customary law and various aspects of the spiritual culture of Karelians. The materials of the second expedition contain extensive data on the daily life of the Pomor villages in the 1940s, changes in the working and living conditions in remote settlements located in the frontline area during the Great Patriotic War. Many materials of these expeditions for various reasons were not introduced to academic community, but seen as an important source for studying the traditional culture of Karelians and Pomors, as well as the life of the local population of Karelian Pomorie during the war.
