Angol összefoglaló

Peter Bán, an archivist, presented a booklet about to be published on the tithe registers (from 1548) of their region. It will be the first one of a source publication series begun by the Heves County Archives. He unfolded the processing methods of the publication in what it is determinant that not only the demands of the researchers of the economic, social and church history were taken into consideration but that of the linguists, as well. The historical place names and personal names were connected with the data of corn-, wine- and animal-tithes in tabular form. It is followed by statistical tables. Peter Bán encouraged his archivist-col lègues to discuss the presented methods and to draw up a uniform publishing form, and insisted on a country-wide publication of the tithe-data. László Halasi, an archivist, spoke about the minutes and documents of the national committees in the coalition period after World War II. He outlined briefly his experiences gained in Budapest concerning the publication of this source-group: the dificulties in collecting the complete material, the ways of stopgap, importance of the personal biographies. János J. Varga, an archivist from Budapest, spoke for another kind of study of sources. He submitted the plans which were drawn up in scientific interest for the coming 300th anniversary of the liberation of Buda from the Turks (1686). In order to realize these plans it is necessary to explore a large number of documents in the foreign and in almost every Hungarian archives. „Conferring on the exploration of sources and the questions of publishing, we must not limit ourselves to discuss only the traditional methods or the ones of scarcely a shade of difference" said Gábor Gyáni, an archivist from the Budapest Municipal Archives. Sooner or later we have to manage to set up a national computerized archival data bank and besides employing a smaller group of specialists it requires a preparatory training of the archivists, as well. Instead of a traditional attitude to the source material, it is necessary to select large source groups, to enable them to be encoded and all these postulate the organizational concentration of the scientific research. The lectures were followed by further additions and a discussion. Most of the participants spoke to the questions of the inventories of estates (Zsolt Trócsányi, Gabriella Somkuti, Gyula Benda, Klára Dóka), there were other remarks on the publication of the tithe registers (Klára Dóka), and on other sourcegroups not mentioned before, respectively (parliamentary records of the reform period; Gyula Erdmann). Klára T. Mérei and Klára Dóka spoke about the necessity of the modern data processing and Károly Vörös suggested a somewhat similar country-wide collecting work. Only the academician Győző Ember spoke directly to the main lecture and he did not quite
