Feljegyzésgyjtemény

Feljegyzésgyjtemény, more properly Feljegyzésgyűjtemény, is a descriptive term used for a curated collection of notes, diary entries, field records, and marginalia assembled by an individual researcher, writer, or institution. It denotes a cohesive set of annotations compiled to document observations, sources, and ideas on a particular topic. The term is not a formal archival category but a practical label that signals an organized body of personal or institutional documentation.

Typical features include dated entries, author attribution, and copied or translated sources. The material is usually organized by chronology or theme and is accompanied by metadata, cross-references, annotations, and occasionally indices. The collection can also contain supplementary material such as sketches, photographs, or copies of source documents, all linked to a central research question or narrative.

Feljegyzésgyűjtemény appears in scholarly, archival, and literary contexts. In research projects, it serves to track observations and sources over time; in editorial work, it can form the backbone of a scholarly edition with notes and commentary; in fiction, it may function as a narrative device comprising a character’s compiled records. Digital manifestations often take the form of tagged notebooks, folders in a repository, or annotated databases, enhancing searchability and preservation.
