Győr város monográfiáinak története a dualizmus korától napjainkig
The History of Győr’s Monography from the Era of Dualism until Today

Summary/Abstract: On the occasion of the 750. anniversary of Győr’s declaration to a free royal city, in 2021, two monography volumes came out of the publishing house. One of them is the first part of the series elaborating the history of the city, while the other one is an independent industry historical piece of work. In the study, following the brief overview of the above mentioned pieces of work – principally based on the articles of the local press – I am outlining the history of Győr’s monography, from the era of dualism until today. I am presenting on what occcasions and for which reasons monography research started, who stood in the frontline of the scientific work, how local power, public opinion and the public related themselves to the works which were being written and which were already published. Moroever, which reasons and factors were in the background of the attempts, which ended with falls many times.
