The Career of a Museum Founder and the Creation of an Institution in the Light of Written Documents

Summary/Abstract: The primary source of the research on which the study is based is the archive of Pál Haszmann (1902-1977), the founder of the Csernáton museum bearing his name, which also provides insight into his teaching, educational, collecting and organising activities. It contains both personal, private documents and official records, and will continue to be a growing archive for generations to come. Other sources: documents from the municipal archives and the archives of the Szekler National Museum, memoirs and interviews with the founder of the museum. The collecting work of Pál Haszmann and his intention to found a museum also shaped the life of his community. For this reason, I am examining the history of the institution in an organic way, in relation to his life course, from which the mechanisms of the Romanian dictatorship also emerge. This overview of individual fate is both a contemporary and a social history, a portrait of a broad-minded 20th-century intellectual, who did a wide range of work, went his own way, but thought in terms of the community, and who also provides important contributions to the work of the folk teachers of the time.
