Castrén’s aim was to find the original homeland of the Finns. He approached this question with the aid of linguistics, folklore, archaeology, and history. Castrén was appointed Docent of Finnish and Ancient Nordic Languages and Tribes at the Imperial Alexander University in Helsinki in 1841, and ten years later he became the first Professor of the Finnish Language. As an academic professor, he emphasized the scholarly community’s duties to society outside of academia. This volume contains Castrén’s archaeological and historical writings as well as texts connected to his activities as a university professor.
