In this paper we present investigation of methods and techniques for digitization and security in digital folklore archive - an archive that consists of unique folklore artifacts stored and annotated in the National center for non-material cultural heritage, Institute of Folklore, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The research is separated in several basic aspects. First we investigate techniques for digitization of different multimedia types - text, images, audio and video. We use this research to selected collections of artifacts. Second we describe several methods applied for securing the intellectual property and authors' rights. These include digital watermarking and error-correcting codes. The paper also presents the functional specification, implementation and testing procedures of the Bulgarian folklore digital library, where the digital folklore archive is kept.
