Summary/Abstract: The history of the Haszmann Pál Museum from Csernáton cannot be examined without its vast archive that includes historical documents, books, maps, and photographic collections, and its library – both regarded as essential parts of the museum. This thesis analyses not the whole library, but only the book collection of The Cseh Tibor Memorial Library, which was shipped from America to Csernáton. The essay analyzes how the life of a Hungarian intellectual changed during the immigration, how he kept his connections with his homeland and hometown, Csernáton.
