Značaj izučavanja lokalne historije za razvoj historiografije – primjer istraživanja prošlosti općine Lukavac
The Importance of Studying Local History for the Development of Historiography – Researching the Past of Lukavac

Summary/Abstract: The studying of national history is important for building and affirming the identity of a country, people and society, but also the study of local history is important for the construction and promotion of the local identity and identity of the local community.In the historiography of Bosnia and Herzegovina we will not find many high-quality works that explain topics of local history of our country's cities and towns. In particular, this refers to the study of the topics of the small local communities, and those that were not or are not now the home of several large administrative territorial units or just for some reason were not interested in a certain period of development of our historiography.The aim of this paper is to point out the situation and perspectives of the study of local history in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a special focus on local history research of Lukavac municipality. Analyzing the results of recent research, we can conclude that very little has been done to improve the study of the local history of this part of Bosnia and Herzegovina.However, since the end of 2014, the above mentioned issues are more actively studied, historical sources are frequently consulted, and the scientific method results in historical exposures. A decisive step towards a more comprehensive and quality study of the past of Lukavac municipality was made by organizing the scientific conference “Cultural, historical and natural heritage of Lukavac municipality”, and by publishing the work of the same title in 2016. Since then, the focus has been on the study of Lukavac's past and enriching the historiography of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the topics of this part of local history.
