Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the historical development of the Czech Technical Foundation, established in 1895, which specialized in publishing technical literature written in Czech. From the outset this society was closely associated with individuals active at the Czech Technical College as well as engineers from prominent industrial enterprises. In 1953 it was merged with other publishing houses to form the State Technical Literature Publishing House. Its activities were resumed in 1990. In addition to its publishing activities, its members were also interested in supporting the development of technical sciences by means of endowment funds and literary prizes.
