Currently, much attention is paid to the problems of digitization of archival materials. Special difficulties arise when we try to preserve the folklore heritage. The reasons for these difficulties are the information vacuum and the lack of common approaches of description of archival materials. Each folklore collection of any institution is faced with the choice of development of its own approaches to systematization and storage of materials. The lack of the complex of methodological materials on folklore archivistics makes this work extremely difficult. In such conditions, the experience of other folklore archives that have started the process of converting of their materials into digital format and systematization of the funds based on electronic programs is extremely important. One of the ongoing projects in this area is the development of the Electronic Depository on the folklore of the Ob Ugric and Samoyed peoples. This resource is intended to contribute to the preservation and revival of the language and spiritual culture of the indigenous peoples of Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Yugra: the Khanty, the Mansi, and the Nenets. According to the classification of UNESCO Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger, the Khanty, Mansi and the Forest Nenets languages are listed as severely endangered, since the old generation (grandparents) speaks their native language, the generation of parents still understands it, but does not communicate in it between themselves and children. In such situation, the role of scientific and educational institutions, that are designed to become centers for the preservation and translation of native languages, is very important. Such the institution in Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Yugra is Ob-Ugric Institute of Applied Researches and Development (Khanty-Mansiysk). The project was nominated for the all-Russian public award "Key word" for preservation of language diversity and won this competition in the category "Best multimedia project". The award was presented at the forum-dialogue "Language policy: all-Russian expertise" organized by the Federal Agency for Nationalities. It should be noted that a huge role in the creation of folklore archives in the Okrug belongs to the Hungarian researcher, PhD Eva Adamovna Schmidt. Thanks to her energy and enthusiasm, the first scientific and folklore archive of the Northern Khanty in Yugra was created in Beloyarsky in 1991. Local employees with a good command of the native language were involved in the work. Employees of the archive had recorded a huge amount of audio and video materials during its work. The archival fund of Eva Schmidt alone has 400 hours of video records and 300 hours of audio records. In the next years, the folklore archives were opened in Khanty-Mansiysk, Beryozovo, Surgutsky and Nizhnevartovsky Districts. These archives are now the branches of the Folklore Center of Ob-Ugric Institute of Applied Researches and Development. They are designed to study, collect, and store the intangible cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of Yugra. During the 25-year period of the Institute's activity, it was possible to collect and record a large number of songs, fairy tales, legends, myths, beliefs, information about holidays and customs in the languages of the Ob-Ugric peoples. Over 3,700 hours of audio records are stored and processed in the folklore archive of the Institute. In order to systematization of folklore materials, the complex automated archive and museum information system KAMIS 2000 was introduced. It was developed by the KAMIS Company in Saint Petersburg. Particularly the program was adapted for systematization of folklore collections. It allows creating an electronic database on folklore, systematizing and organizing the storage of archival funds. The program includes text, audio, video records and pictures of collected materials. The program archives new materials; it allows keeping an end-to-end accounting of receipt and issuance of materials for study; it provides a quick search and receipt of various references starting from any fairy tale and ending with biographies of informants. All work in the KAMIS program (creation of the index cards, folklore material, creation of acceptance reports, etc.) is performed by employees of the Folklore Center, including its branches. On the base of the working version the information and reference system has been introduced. It allows Internet users to get acquainted with the intangible cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of Yugra in real time. All fund materials are divided into six main types of collections: 1) fund of audio cassettes; 2) fund of video cassettes; 3) fund of photos; 4) fund of disks; 5) documentary fund; 6) fund of electronic copies. The fund of audio cassettes stores audio materials. The fund of video cassettes stores video materials that are systematically subjected to digitization. All materials converted into electronic format are transferred to the fund of electronic copies. Decrypted materials (monuments of folklore) and their translations in the Russian language are stored in the documentary fund. This fund also contains field diaries, records, published and unpublished scientific works on languages, culture and history of the indigenous peoples of Yugra collected during the twenty-five-year period of work of Ob-Ugric Institute of Applied Researches and Development. The program allows creating a lot of used reference lists such as "informants", "collectors", "authors of decryptions and translations", "languages and dialects", "publications", "geographical reference" and many others. A special pride is the formed card file about informants (carriers and performers of the Ob-Ugric peoples). The database of carriers of Ob-Ugric and Samoyed folklore contains more than 600 names. Unfortunately, the part of carriers of folklore does not have detailed information. Some collectors did not record detailed biographies on audio. Obviously, this informa
