This article presents the period in which he was the museum's director, based on his autobiographic notes. In these notes Ložar sheds light on the beginnings of the ethnographic collections in the National Museum, the work of the museum's first director Niko Zupanič, and the staff who worked in the museum in the difficult wartime conditions after Zupanič became a university professor and his place was taken by Lozar, who until then had been a curator at the National Museum for 12 years. Beside collecting objects in the field, purchasing and taking over individual collections, the museumćs activities centred around publishing Narodopisje Slovencev (The Ethnology of the Slovenes) and the journal Etnolog,and its co-operation in the project Obnova slovenske vasi (Renovation of the Slovene village).

Ložar v zapiskih osvetljuje zametke etnografskih zbirk v Narodnem muzeju, delo prvega upravnika Nika Zupaniča in sodelavcev, ki so v težavnih vojnih razmerah v muzeju delovala potem, ko je Zupanič postal univerzitetni profesor in je na mesto upravnika prisel Ložar, ki je bil do tedaj dvanajst let kustos v Narodnem muzeju. Poleg zbiranja predmetov na terenu, odkupa in prevzema posameznih zbirk je bilo glavno delo usmerjeno v izdajo Narodopisja Slovencev, urejanje revije Etnolog in sodelovanje pri projektu Obnova slovenske vasi.
