Erzsébet Apró Summaries KODÁLY ANNIVERSARIES IN BÁCS-KISKUN COUNTY The essay was written in 2007 in the Kodály memorial year for the 125th anniversary of Zoltán Kodály’s birth and for the 40th anniversary of his death. In connection with the lot of beautiful programmes the author raised the question how and where these documents of the events could survive for the posterity. She considered the traditional paper based documents, the recently originated electronic documents and the volume of voice, picture and film so she would have liked to know what kind of documents can be found in the Archive of Bács-Kiskun County in the topic of Kodály memorial events and celebrations. In a way like that the research was qualified onto the archival materials of the events’ organisers and publications, articles in close connection with the topic were used, as well, which were able to show more about the spots, the dates and the contents of the events. Observations were from those times when Zoltán Kodály lived because it was interesting to show what the great musician’s personality and work were like and what he meant for his contemporaries and how they could make it remarkable and ceremonial for everyone. About two moments of Kodály’s life can be read in detail in the treatise illustrated with a lot of sources: about the award of his honorary citizenship in 1947 on his 65th birthday and about the great celebrations for his 75th birthday all over the county. Bence Szabó EDUCATION, POLITICS AND EDUCATIONAL POLICY CADRE POLICY QUESTIONS IN PUBLIC EDUCATION OF BÁCS-KISKUN COUNTY TURNING OF THE 1950S In the centre of the essay there is the educational policy of the year of change, the personal matters and the aims and practice of cadre policy during the period after the turn. The research was made on the basis of documents between 1950-1951 because the original aim of the essay was not an intensive research, history of office or a follow-up of some officials’ life-path but the presentation of the typicality of the party-state cadre policy and also the presentation of the local processes, tendencies, conflicts and anomalies in the mirror of the county sources. The documents of the era can truly reflect the situation of the Hungarian society during Rákosy dictatorship. The documents are also able to be a basis of regional history researches and able to show personal relationships, deformations of friendly and domestic connections, the sudden fits of public’s passionate emotion and last but not least they can be sources of sociological and cultural history researches concerning social reorganizations. 425
