SUMMARY w e have celebrated significant anniversaries in the past few years all over the country. We commemorated the 1100th anniversary of the Hungarian conquest, the 150th anniversary of the Revolution and War of Independence in 1848-49 and we also greeted the Millenium of the Hungarian state together with the Millenium of the world. Our institute, the Archives of Székesfehérvár also took part in these memorable events. The Archives of Székesfehérvár has organized a number of scholarly conferences since its refoundation in 1992.

In 1997 these events were related to Prince Géza, the „father" of the Hungarian state, and the 775th anniversary of the Golden Bull. The years of 1998-99 were countermarked by the Revolution and War of Independence in 1848-49. Three out of the four conferences were devoted to the important events of the revolution.
