Representation of Ethnic Minorities in the Collection of the Dezső Laczkó Museum Vera Schleicher The study employs the aid of statistics, history of science, the history of the museum and examples to find an answer to the question of to what degree (number) and quality (content) the German and Slovak nationalities are represented in the treasures and documents of the Veszprém County Museum as a whole. Analysis of the material stock of the ethnographic collection - placed side by side with the ratio of the two nationalities under examination in the I9 lh and at the beginning of the 20" century - betrays a satisfactory and commendable museum representation of the material culture of the German and Slovak settlers. However, analysis of the history of the acquisition of these objects demonstrates that interest in national minorities was by no means of identical size in different periods of the museum's history. The decades following the founding of the museum were characterised by interest in the ancient Hungarians of the county, while the main trends in research and collection in the decades spanned by the Second World War were defined by generally ignoring questions of nationality and by a policy of punishment and silence in the face of the German minority. From the 1970s we can observe a strengthening of attention paid to the nationalities. The significant number of sets of objects originating from neighbourhood where the nationalities live and acquired or purchased for the museum in the 1970s to 1990s, parallel with an ever increasing number of photographs, cover every important and characteristic area of folk culture, and they have been processed both in exhibition and publication form. Although it is a relief to see the traditional culture of the Slovak and German nationalities living in the county being properly represented, this article also points to gaps in the collecting work and research that has hitherto taken place. Documentation of everyday life, the work opportunities and procedures, the effect of modernisation and the world of transforming settlements and lifestyles deserve more attention being turned to them just as does analysis of the effects, still evident today, of the post-war trauma of the German minority.
