Help with translation

[Michele A. Berdy]

Is it? Kraevedenie is the study of local history and culture  (broadly 
defined) -- local meaning "smaller than the country level". I've always 
translated kraevedcheski muzei as local history museum (which includes 
history, geology, culture, crafts, art etc.). Perhaps I don't understand the 
English terms you suggest, but I think they are way too big.

>> Dear Seelangers,
>> How would you translate "kraevedenie"? "Regional studies" (sounds too
>> "academic" to me)?
