Projet "Bibliotheca Eruditionis"

Les travaux concernant une bibliographie nationale rétrospective sont en cours a la bibliotheque nationale hongroise depuis de longues décennies, et nous pouvons déclarer sans exagération que les résultats actuels sont sans pareil, meme sur le plan international, puisqu'en plus de dresser un inventaire bibliographique et d'offrir des informations sur les exemplaires, les volumes relatent aussi l'histoire des différentes éditions. Grâce au programme de recherche et d'application, il sera créé une base de données fondamentale a l'étude de l'histoire de la civilisation de l'époque allant du XVIe au XVIIIe siecle, qui traite les informations et données obtenues suites aux recherches de base en utilisant un cadastre quantitatif rarissime au sein des sciences humaines, complété de façon unique par la présentation multimédiatique d'une partie significative du corpus (livres, reliures, illustrations)

Austro-Hungarian Land Forces

The aim of this site is to document the organisational history of the land forces of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy from just prior to the outbreak of the Great War until the collapse of the monarchy in 1918.

Contents of the site: Introduction and Sources, Troops and Units History, Orders of Battle, Orders and Decorations, Badges and Uniforms, Biographies, Engagements and Battles, Gallery and Portraits, The Mexican Adventure, Hungarian-German Military Terms.

For many Hungarians who witnessed 1956, the Revolution had a significant and lasting influence on their lives. Second generation Hungarians, hearing their family's stories of heroism, have also been deeply inspired. The Hungarian American Coalition and Lauer Learning began to collect these inspiring stories from 1956 survivors through this oral history website for the special 50th anniversary year. The publication of the first two books for the 50th anniversary, was a gratifying experience, but the work continues. Going forward, it is the website owners' intention to compile as many personal accounts as possible and to feature these stories on the website.

Institute for the History of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution

The Institute for the History of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution (hereafter 1956 Institute) considers itself primarily the successor of the Imre Nagy Institute of Sociology and Politics, which operated in Brussels between 1959 and 1963, and of other western emigrant organizations and writers that maintained the inheritance of the Hungarian Revolution for more than three decades. In 1990, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences formed the Academic Documentation and Research Group for the History of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. In 1995, the government of the Hungarian Republic granted the 1956 Institute, until then a social organization, the official status of a public foundation.
