Technikatörténeti szemle 24. (1999-2000)

Vámos Éva Katalin: A Technikatörténeti Szemle a 20. században

Professor József Varga was the head of the editorial board and István Szilágyi, head of the Ministry of Culture's Group for the Collection and Registration of Technical Relics was the editor. As by January 1st, 1973, the Ministry of Culture's Group for the Collection and Registration of Technical Relics was organised into the Hungarian Museum for Science and Technology, the Review of the History of Technics assumed the character of a yearbook. The Review of the History of Technics as forum of the national museum charged with the professional supervision of the industrial branch museums was opened to the latter. Its columns were, from that time on, as follows: studies, technical branch museums, chronicle, book review and bibliography. After a while the latter column was discontinued as the professional literature of the history of technology outgrew the size of a column in a periodical. The editor-in-chief was, from two years earlier on Ferenc Szabadváry, then appointed director general. He has been editor-in-chief of the yearbook for 30 years. In the course of the years the editors were as follows: István Szilágyi (1963-1970 Éva Rajnai (1971-1973) Pál Vajda (1974-1973) Pál Vajda - Ágnes Debreczeny (1974-1982) Ágnes Debreczeny (1983-1985) Éva Katalin Vámos - Mária Orlai (1986-1993) Mária Orlai (1994-) The members of the editorial board were in the past 37 years, in alphabetical order, as follows: József Antall, Gábor Bíró, Iván Balassa, László Bendefy, István Bogdán, Jenő Pallér, Mihály Gohér, Antal Gönyei, Károly Héberger, Walter Endrei, Zsigmond Károlyi, Gyula Kiszely, István Kovács, Tibor Kovács, Woldemár Lászlóffy, Imre Lebovits, Jolán M.
