The paper is about the set of drawings and documents by Ödön Lechner and Gyula Pártos for the Town-hall of Szeged dated to 1881–1883 (Hungarian National Archives, Csongrád-Csanád County Archives, Szeged [MNL CSML], Collection of Building Plans and Documents of the Municipality of Szeged, marked Lecher Ödön, Pártos Gyula: A Szegedi Városházhoz készített tervek, rajzok és iratok, [Plans, drawings and documents for the Szeged Town-hall], XV.2b. 45. d.-49.d). The elaborated theme includes ground-plans, rosette, baluster and skylight plans, detail plans of staircase and main cornice, plan of the roof of the main staircase, 37 drawings of ornamental sculpture, window pillars, window frames and rail chains, painter’s stencils signed by Ödön Lechner, two façade versions, tower detail, details of the main portal, drawings of the vault around the clock, of the ornaments of room doors and cornice elements. The building logbooks, list of submissions to the competition with code-names and the contracts signed with the building contractors are also valuable sources.In addition to eighty drawings of diverse sizes and techniques, the collection includes the construction documents, accounts, correspondence, building logbooks, planning competition calls, and a colour plan for the tiling of the Szeged Town-hall now in the Architectural Collection of the Kiscelli Museum of the Budapest History Museum (inv.no. 117). I evaluate the drawings both within the conception of an architectural work and also as separate graphic sheets, and try to describe their background in terms of the history of architecture, art and ideas.I am led to conclude that the Szeged Town-hall was the first project to manifest Lechner’s ambition to lay the groundworks of a national architecture based on the more abstracted and universal basic forms of folk art but keeping abreast of European tendencies. The drawings are invaluable in that they add more information to the chronology of Lechner’s artistic career and lend stress to the fact that folklore and local history researches, the intellectual approach, the synthesis of local and international achievements, a thorough knowledge of the history of ceramics, the redefinition of traditions played at least as important roles in creating the concept of a building as individual intention and creative imagination.The paper was supported by the Ernő Kállai Art Historical Research Grant.

Although historiography (as part of the local history of the Labin region and its coal mines) and scholarly literature from other disciplines (primarily the history of architecture) have addressed different aspects of the construction of the miners’ town in Raša, this paper focuses on the reasons, circumstances, and processes of infrastructure construction in Arsia / Raša, based both on a critical evaluation of the present research and on a study of archival sources. It has been observed that Raša – built within 547 days from April 1936 to November 1937 – was not primarily a project of the fascist regime intended to serve its glorification, but was constructed by the administration of the coal mine due to its need of new workers, in the context of increasing the production of coal for industrial and transportation purposes (railroad, navy, and maritime transport) at the time when approximately 1,000,000 tons or 10% of the Italian needs for this energy resource were pumped from the Raška Basin. The town’s construction was preceded by extensive land reclamation works in the area.

The article is devoted to the history of museums and the modern development of local history work in one of the northernmost districts of the Irkutsk region. The article briefly describes the circumstances of the foundation of a mica mining enterprise on the banks of the Vitim and Mama rivers in the late 1920s as well as the history of production being stopped and the degradation of settlements in the post-Perestroika period. In 1965, a mineralogical museum was established in the Mama village. In 2003, it was converted into a local history museum. In recent decades, the functions of the modern museum have changed, but this has manifested itself in the work of a local history museum of the Mama village only in the form of concentrated pedagogical activities. Important functions for studying the heritage of the Soviet time, documenting the modern life of the district, working with society, in particular, with an older audience, were gradually taken over by a group of enthusiasts who founded the voluntary Mamskoe Historical and Local History Association (MICRO) in 2008. Over the past twelve years, the Association has organized about twenty museum and street exhibitions, published a number of monographs, stories about the residents of Mama, and published two photo albums. Photos have been published as well as archival documents, and oral histories of local elders, many of whom are descendants of repressed peasant families forcibly resettled here in the early 1930s. Participation in district and regional conferences on local history helps to influence the social situation and supports the proper level of cultural life of the region. The article touches on such modern museological concepts as “social inclusion”, “intangible cultural heritage” and “participatory practices”. The authors hope that in the future, experts will be able to discuss the possibilities of developing the tourism sector in this area.

Professor Philip D. Curtin of the University of Wisconsin has written to correct certain points made by Dr John E. Flint in his review of The Small Brave City State: A History of Nembe-Brass in the Niger Delta, by Ebiegberi Joe Alagoa (Journal, VI, 2(1965), 248). He points out that Mr Alagoa's book was a preliminary study in local history which was written in Nigeria while Mr Alagoa was in the service of the National Archives there. Since then, Dr Alagoa has completed a Ph.D. thesis at the University of Wisconsin, but it is not yet published. Dr Flint also accepts Professor Curtin's correction of his observation about ‘the difficulty of pursuing research in such a topic [of African history] from a base in the U.S.A.’ This would not, in any case, apply to the University of Wisconsin, since Wisconsin normally requires Ph.D. candidates in African history to conduct their research in Africa and in appropriate European archives.Dr Robert Rotberg of Harvard and Herr Hans-Jürgen Greschat of the Philipps-Universität, Marburg, have pointed out an inaccurate compression of events in my article on ‘Witnesses and Watchtower in the Rhodesias and Nyasaland’. As some of your readers may come to accept my chronology of the imprisonment of Elliott Kenani Kamwana Chirwa (p. 92, n.4), perhaps I should set matters straight. I said that he was arrested, deported to Mauritius in June 1909, released by March 1914 and re-deported around December 1916. In fact, Kamwana was given the choice of restriction to Nyasaland's Southern Province or removal to South Africa in 1909. He seems to have returned in 1910, was sent back to South Africa, which this time refused him entry, and next went to Chinde in Mozambique, where he stayed until the outbreak of war, when the Portuguese repatriated him. The British once more detained him in the Mlanje District and after the Chilembwe revolt sent Kamwana and others back to Mauritius for about a year and then to the Seychelles until 1937. These additional details concerning his peregrinations are interesting in themselves and I thank my two correspondents for supplying them.

Diversity Issues

In the last twenty-five years, the Swedish museum landscape has expanded and contains today several thousand museums, from the single local history museum to the merged governmental central museum, many of them organized in different networks. During the same period contemporary collecting, diversity issues and difficult matters became both attractive and urgent topics for the public cultural history museums. Also, museology and cultural heritage studies were established at several universities, with professorships as well as basic educational programmes. As a consequence, the perception of museology as research done at museums was replaced by research on museums, often with a critical view of the history of collections and exhibitions. During the last few years, however, a polarized media debate reveals that there might still be a gap between the actual, contemporary museum and the more traditional concept of the museum in (some) people’s minds.

Der Vortrag schlägt vor, nicht mehr den Menschen als letzte Referenz und vertrauten Maßstab der Architektur zu setzen, sondern Architekturen als Mediensysteme zu denken. Eine noch ungeschriebene Mediengeschichte der Architektur sollte daher auch und gerade in historischer Absicht nach formalen Entsprechungen zwischen Techniken des Entwerfens und solchen der Bauten suchen, in denen Praxis und Produkt zusammenfallen. </br></br>The paper proposes the consideration of architecture(s) as a media system, instead of imposing man as its ultimate reference and known measure. A media history of architecture – which remains to be written – should therefore search for formal correspondences between techniques of drafting and those of buildings, in which practice and product coincide.
