The article recalls how in 2015, the year of the centenary of the Armenian Genocide,important publications emerged, shedding a light on the incident that will be difficultto ignore. In particular, it was the archives of the Congregation for the OrientalChurches, the Vatican Secret Archives and the Historical Archive of the Secretariat ofState which offered up precious material for the knowledge of what was happeningto Armenians in Turkey to Georges-Henri Ruyssen SJ. To the latter is owed a valuableand significant work of reconstruction undertaken over many years, and consistingof eight volumes. These contain letters written in Turkey by those in contact withthe people, who with their own eyes saw what was happening, and who followedwhat was occurring with dismay. Their relationship with the territory and their directexperience are fundamental.The correspondences begin in the years 1894-1896, of which volume IV, rangingfrom 1908 to 1925, is drawn precisely from the Secret Vatican Archives(ASV) as wellas the Historic Archives of the Secretariat of State, the Section for Relations withTerritories (SS.RR.SS). The author also points out a small valuable contribution byJewish intellectuals of the time, translated into Italian with the title Pro Armenia. Sheunderlines how, immediately, some Jews tried to intervene, to stop the genocide, andto assist Armenians in various ways.Today, it is difficult to ignore what happened, to ignore and to reduce what historicallyis the first genocide of the twentieth century in Europe. An event which has beenminimized and denied: whose effects are still being felt today, and which has left atrail at individual, family and social levels. Armenian terrorism, which has resultedin attacks and deaths in Turkey and elsewhere, derives from these negations. Thesame is the case for a strong nationalism still prevalent today in the Republic ofArmenia, which is constrained by circumstances to adopt a defensive political stanceand – out of necessity – to maintain good relations with Russia. We have to wish that,after those resounding acknowledgement of the genocide, Armenia will be able tolook forward to a more serene future

This study focuses on the process by which the Republic of Hungary and the Republic of Korea established official relations in 1972 when the “7.4 South-North Joint Statement” was declared. Surveying the diplomatic documents of both countries, this study reveals that there were two turning points, in 1972 and 1983, from the viewpoint of diplomatic relations. Especially from 1983 onward, the contact between the two countries increased hugely, and undoubtedly, this was the result of the diplomatic relations between the two. This article specifies three factors that influenced the two countries to establish each other’s embassies in 1989 in their respective countries: the first is the Seoul Olympics, the second is the economic factor including loans from South Korea, and the last is the affair related to the bombing of Korean Air Flight 858

Archival knowledge is without a doubt necessary for Bosnian Herzegovina society and it uses it often. A certain scientific and professional infrastructure has been established (regulations, institutions, societies) and it tries to perform its duties adequately. However, this infrastructure is rather lacking so it is usually reduced to performing the most basic everyday tasks, mainly so that archival duties would not hamper the administration. For creative, professional dimension of the activity needed optimal conditions have not been met. Still, many archives and archivists made huge results in this area that are relevant to archival science in general, and that contribute to status of archival science in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this area relevant results have been achieved by publishing archival journals (Herald of archives and archival Society of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Archival practice, etc.) and by organizing and constantly improving the quality of international scientific conferences in the country (counseling "Archival practice" in Tuzla, etc) and abroad ("Sodobni arhivi" or Contemporary archives in Maribor, the International archival conference in Maribor and Trieste, annual and thematic conferences of archivists in Croatia, Vojvodina, etc.) For further creative development of archival activities new scientific knowledge is decisive, whether it is generated inside Bosnia and Herzegovina, or some outside generated ones are applied. In all this it would be important to create adequate inventory (recapitulation) of the state, and after that establish the strategy of further development, a task that was not completed by the First Congress of archivists of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2006. With good preparations, from healthy scientific positions, and not from limited administrative ones, this important achievement could be completed in upcoming archival congress. BosnianHerzegovina archivists have a professional obligation and need to work on this with much more agility.

In 2018, the first guide to the resources of the university archives was published Archives of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. Information on archival resources. As of December 31, 2017, edited by A. Supruniuk and W. Krajniak, whose authors are employees of the Archives. The guide consists of three main parts: the introductory part (preface, introduction, calendar, list of abbreviations), the basic part (the presentation of the resource) and the supplementary part (a list of components, a list of illustrations, bibliography, summary in English, material index). It has been very carefully prepared in terms of content and graphics. Particularly noteworthy is the extensive and valuable introduction, which allows you to understand the structure and method of using the help section, and above all it introduces the history of the Archives and its resources. The main part of the Guide is the characteristics of the resource, which allows you to get acquainted with the collected archives. The description of individual components contains eight detailed pieces of information concerning their content, supplemented with the chronological scope of individual series of files. The whole is completed by a well thought-out and carefully prepared supplementary apparatus. The value of the publication is significantly increased by its graphic design and careful edition, including numerous photographs that perfectly illustrate individual parts. The preparation of the first guide to the university archive resource required the Authors to take up several problems of priority importance for academic archival studies, including first and foremost the structure of this type of archival resource. The publication will find its permanent place in the achievements of Polish archival studies not only because of its pioneering nature, but above all, owing to the high substantive level of information contained therein.

The publication, divided into thematic blocks, provides an overview of archival issues in the broad context of the processes of shaping European archives, cooperation between them and the role archives play in society. The first part includes, among others texts on attempts to create a great European archive by Napoleon Bonaparte and contemporary tools for cooperation between the archives of a united Europe (European Archive Portal, ARENA projects, AREA and others). The second part deals with the interesting issue of the formation of archival science as a science and the development of archives in a situation of subordination to oppressive political systems in the interwar period (Germany, USSR), war (based on the fate of the Vilnius archives) and post-war (PRL). The third part includes texts on various Polish archives and methods used in archives, in the context of their practical use and in relation to the place that archives occupy in social life. The publication is summed up by a text discussing the French National Archives in Pierrefitte-sur-Seine as an example of a modern archive adapted (at least in intention) to the needs of modern users.

The article is devoted to the research of the archival sources for studying the stay of communists in the Lutsk prison in the years 1919–1939. In the interwar period the communist movement tried to separate Volhynia and Eastern Galicia from the Second Polish Republic and was a serious threat to the Polish authorities in the region. According to the Polish law, communist activity was illegal and criminalised. The Lutsk prison was one of the institutions of the penitentiary system of Poland where those convicted for communist activities served their sentences and where investigations against others were continued.It is revealed that the materials of the State Archives of the Volhynia Region in Lutsk (Ukraine), the Central State Archive of Public Organisations of Ukraine in Kyiv (Ukraine) and the Polish Central Archives of Modern Records (Poland) are sufficiently reflective of the research on the communists’ stay in the Lutsk prison between the two world wars. Taking into account the statistics of that time and comparing the documents of these institutions with the materials of other archival institutions, the memories of prisoners and representatives of the authorities, as well as the interwar press allows us to create a complete picture of the daily life of the communist prisoner in Lutsk prison from their imprisonment until their release from its walls.

The analysis of the complex problem of the refugees between 1918 and 1947, based on primary sources discovered in the Central Historical National Archives, the Diplomatic Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the documentary funds of the National Council for Study of Security Archives (Bucharest), as well as in several collections of documents, studies and articles published by specialists in this matter, is of great significance. There still are many documentary sources about Bukovina, which have not been yet used or discovered by researchers, and which refer to the complex situation of the Romanian-Polish frontier and to the debates upon it held at the Peace Conference in Paris. The Polish exodus in the Romanian Kingdom in september 1939 was analyzed before and especially after 1989 in a series of important publications, syntheses, articles and monographs.

Personnel policy was one of the main instruments of power employed by the Communist authorities. One of its most prominent elements was the ‘nomenclature’, system established exactly as in the Soviet model. Formally, it was an index of managerial positions in the state decided by appropriate levels of the communist party. In practice, the result was a Communist elite – a closed, self-reproducing caste which established a monopoly of social, political and economic power. They would not be subject to scrutiny from any lower body and would enjoy multiple benefits as a result of their place in the hierarchy. The nomenclature was combined with a highly-regulated proces of information circulation. Therefore, the Communist party produced multitudes of documents related to the nomenclature system. After 1990, they were stored in the state archives and became a great source for studies of the Communist’s personnel policies, especially those of the Communist nomenclature. The article is an attempt at a synthetic study of the documentation and information included there that are direct results of the nomenclature’s existence in the context of both the ideological as well as the realistic implications for the Communist system in Poland.

A prominent figure in Bohemian archival science, PhDr Bedřich Jenšovský (24 September 1889 – 12 February 1942) was an archivist, Director of the Czech Lands Archives, teacher, secretary, and also briefly Director of the State School for Archivists. He was admitted to the Czech Lands Archives on 1 October 1908 as a copier of archival documents and remained faithful to the institution until his violent death. The volume of his work was enormous; over time, he participated in the archives’ organisational issues as well as leadership. In 1916 he was appointed the head of the archives branch in Bredovská Street, frequently deputised the director at meetings during the construction of the new building, and organised the moving of the archives between 1930 and 1933. His appointment as the Czech Lands Archives head administrator on 1 July 1933, immediately after the retirement of his predecessor J.B. Novák, and as director on 1 January 1934 marked the pinnacle of his career.Jenšovský was the first director to work at full capacity, along with his team, in the new archives building in Belcredi Street (today M. Horákové 5/133) in Prague 6. He was at his prime with creative and professional interests exceeding the scope of ordinary archival work; he was devoted to archival education and ranked among the best connoisseurs of printed Bohemica in Roman archives. He was present at the beginning of the stand-alone Czechoslovak Historical Institute in Rome and, in some periods, was one of its chief representatives. Moreover, he was a member of other professional organisations. The arduous years of the German occupation entailed very difficult work conditions for the Czech Lands Archives’ employees, including enforced German administration, forced extradition of archival materials, and irrecoverable personal losses. B. Jenšovský was one of the six employees who died because of the violent Nazi regime during 1939–1945. The Gestapo arrested him at the archives on 8 October 1941 as part of the ‘Sokol Action’, launched against the Sokol Movement representatives, and he died on 12 February 1942 in the Auschwitz concentration camp.

Fashion archives are a vital segment of the fashions cape. Social media-based fashion archives, especially those on Instagram, have gained a significant foothold in the digital fashions cape. Due to their digital foundation, such social Media base collections conform to the broad, even figurative concept of archives proposed by philosopher Michel Foucault and historian Elizabeth Yale. Importantly, they do not compromise the need for physical fashion archives and make otherwise paywalled information readily accessible. Although there are notable benefits to Instagram-based fashion archives, there are also several drawbacks, such as data loss, the public’s conflation of term “fashion archive” with “archive fashion”, and even what fashion scholar Vicki Karaminas calls the “the hypotrophy of the image”. This paper seeks to not only introduce this segment of the fashions cape, but also place it within archive and fashion theory and history through an exploration of its merits and challenges.

The main problem discussed in the book is the experience of time deposited in the memory of culture – its texts, pre-texts and “beyond-texts” collected in archives. Memory is accompanied – also on a cultural scale – by forgetting. Both of these integrally connected processes determine the topicality of past knowledge and its falling out of the currently dominant circuits, and sometimes unexpected returns. The subsequent chapters of the book, devoted to “oldvators” of literary criticism (mainly Mikhail Bakhtin, Roman Ingarden and Roman Jakobson), ask about their presence and the importance of their achievements today. The analyses of this unusual phenomenon on the Central and Eastern European scale – student scientific circles in which modern literary studies were born – serve to recover past perfect and transform it into past imperfect. Such a phenomenon are also literary terms born in the first decades of the 20th century, whose circulation in the world, penetration into the neighboring disciplines, semantic (and even name) shifts allow to trace not only the changing story of literary research, but also to ask a question about its identity. This identity, although seemingly unstable, as shown by studies spanning the entire century, appears to be surprisingly steady.

Le Saint Monastère Sucevița n’eut pas la chance de conserver les archives plus anciennes (consommées par un incendie violent), ni bénéficia d’outils d’archivage plus anciens (des états de documents ou inventaires de trésors et d’objets). Aujourd’hui, les archives anciennes se composent de huit documents (parchemins) «fondateurs» et quelques autres documents de la fin du XVIIIème siècle. Le reste des actes sont de la période moderne et contemporaine. Les unités d’archives sont classées, chronologiquement, par paquets, dès l’année 1785 et jusqu’en 1949, et à l’intérieur de chaque paquet, par liasses. On y garda les documents sous forme de brouillons, originaux et copies, dans les langues roumaine et allemande. On trouve en chaque paquet le protocole des pièces, par années (le registre d’entrée – sortie d’aujourd’hui), avec les sections soigneusement remplies, et des liasses avec la correspondance officielle. On rencontra une coutume intéressante à l’époque de l’abbé Ghenadie Zaharovici (novembre 1847–septembre 1862), qui enregistra méticuleusement la correspondance du monastère et de plus, nota, dans le même registre, les événements plus intéressants, pas seulement pour le monastère, mais aussi pour l’ensemble de la zone géographique, avec l’observation « cela sert pour le savoir dans l’avenir ». Pour un meilleur ordre dans la chancellerie, on utilisa temporairement des points héraldiques colorés. La correspondance avec le Consistoire de Tchernovtsy est la plus riche: ordres concernant l’administration du patrimoine, lettres circulaires, listes de livres donnés pour la bibliothèque, offres de souscription ou d’achat des livres, rapports sur les dommages subis à cause des calamités naturelles, programmes de l’école qui fonctionna à côté du monastère, inventaires, dépliants, passeports etc. Ensuite, on y présenta les documents attestant la participation du monastère aux expositions de Tchernovtsy (1855, 1886), Vienne (1873, 1887), Kiev (1874), Bucarest (1906), Paris (1925), Bruxelles (1935).
