"Národopisná revue" 4/98 focuses on some of the oldest records of song collections (articles by Lubomír Tyllner: The Frýdlant Manuscript of 1819, and Dana Toncrová: Collection of Austrian Folk Songs of 1819), on the oldest sources of instrumental music in Western Slovakia (Peter Michalovič: On the Oldest Sources of the Folk Instrumental Music in the Záhorí), and on folk music in the Czech-German frontier (Vladimír Baier: The Folk Music of the Two Neighbours). A previous series of articles is closed with a final part of a large study on records of folk songs and music in Strážnice (Jan Trojan: Song as a Living Form; On Records of the Melodies and the String Bands Play of the songs of Strážnice by Vladimír Úlehla).

In the Transforming Tradition column we offer an article on the history of All Saint's Day (by Alexandra Navrátilová) and a record of a 1998 field research concerning narration on Death (by Věra Frolcová). The Looking Back column presents a founder of the Ukrainian ethnography, Fedir Vovk (by Petr Kaleta). The Society's Chronicle reminds of the birthdays of ethnographers Miroslava Ludvíková (born 1923) and Ivo Stolařík (born 1923). The final part of the journal deals with conference news and reviews of exhibitions, CDs and books. The photo supplement of the journal documents the village of Šafov in the Moravian-Austrian frontier; its author is Miloš Uhlíř.
