Our Foundation has set as its goal the preservation\u2014through photographic and historical documentation\u2014of the architectural monuments of historic Hungary now facing destruction or grave endangerment. This ambitious, potentially decades-long endeavor aims to create the most comprehensive visual inventory possible of the built heritage of Upper Hungary.<\/p>

The highlands of the Carpathian Basin\u2014the Felvid\u00e9k, now in Slovakia\u2014are a veritable treasury of Hungarian architectural legacy, perhaps its most precious region, which largely escaped the ravages of war, including the frontlines of the Ottoman conquests. With only mild exaggeration, one might claim that as many mansions and manor houses survive in a single noble village in the Felvid\u00e9k\u2014such as M\u00e1rkusfalva (Marku\u0161ovce, Slovakia) or Lipt\u00f3szentiv\u00e1n (Liptovsk\u00fd J\u00e1n)\u2014as in the entire region of B\u00e1cska. Moreover, this territory boasts a remarkable wealth of Renaissance buildings, a rarity in Hungary proper. Contrary to popular belief, however, many noble residences here too have fallen into disrepair; in several cases, their legal status remains unresolved\u2014or their fate already sealed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This initiative is closely aligned with the Foundation\u2019s core mission: to identify, document, and, where possible, transfer private archives into public collections or create digital copies of them. County by county, we aim to commission researchers who possess local knowledge and archival expertise to gather all available 19th\u201320th century references (e.g. in scholarly literature, published sources, press reports) to once-existing private archives within a given region. Their task is to document all content-related and quantitative data associated with these archives and investigate the fate of those that never entered\u2014or only partially entered\u2014public collections. The resulting documentation will highlight numerous overlooked collections and enable the Foundation to conduct further research to trace missing archives. As a pilot phase, the project begins in three counties in the Transdanubian region of western Hungary.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A long-standing goal of Hungarian archival research has been to gather all surviving medieval charters related to Hungary. One underexplored source type is the early modern registers of the so-called \u201cplaces of authentication\u201d (loca credibilia<\/em>) kept by ecclesiastical institutions. Between the 16th and 19th centuries, many individuals presented their old charters at these official places to have authenticated copies made\u2014often to protect the fragile originals during lawsuits or to preserve the rights conferred in documents of increasingly bad material condition. The texts of such charters were frequently copied into official registers, surviving even when the originals were lost. Researchers must review these registers page by page\u2014often hundreds of pages long\u2014to identify and document each transcribed medieval charter. Our forthcoming volumes will publish this documentation and the complete texts of the previously unknown medieval documents, accompanied by scholarly notes and explanations. Two volumes are currently in preparation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
