The reader of our journal already knows that from 1997-2000 the International Caucasological Research Institute for social research, under the leadership of Professor Kevin Tuite of the University of Montreal (Canada) conducted work for the collection of ethnographic and linguistic materials in the mountain regions of Georgia, specifically in Pshav-Khevsureti, Svaneti, Racha. The institute collected numerous audio and photo materials, which are being prepared for publication in the pages of our institute’s journal, Amirani.
