4.3 The database of games The database of children´s game based on both “old and new” started to function at the Estonian folklore Archive (EFA) from 2013 onwards. In the same year, the web-based publication was prepared for a campaign to collect children´s games launched by the EFA. During the time of preparation, some of the employees of EFA created an Estonian language Omeka (http://www.omka.org/) interface. Once the materials from the collecting campaign had arrived, the EFAs workgroup on contemporary children´s games decided to supplement the earlier collection with materials collected in 2013. “The materials from the intermediate period and the Soviet years, was collected in 1944-1981 by several pupils separately (Järv,2014,37)”. In 2014, the third internet database of “games” became accessible in the archive. It consists of 1,001 children´s game from the year 1935 onwards. http://www.folklore.ee/ukauka/archiiv/1001 (Hiiemäe et alii 2013). “Besides game descriptions, the database contains descriptions of playing situations and childhood memories connected with games. The database also contains the different ways the games start e.g dipping rhymes, counting out rhymes”(Järv,2014,38).There is text accompanied by the names of the region from where the games were collected. Each entry or Omeka item has also been marked with tags at different levels with the help of different color. The database is searchable by the name of the game or activity, for example - imitating, changing places or turning around etc. In late 2016, the database contains 2,077 descriptions of games and childhood memories, some of these accompanied by photos, figures and children’s drawings.
