The aim of the article is to present the person and scientific achievements of Fr. Karl Urban (1864–1923), in the years 1899–1923 a priest at Sadów in the Lubliniec deanery. He himself – being the son of Carl Urban (1836–1922), a teacher in Upper Silesian schools, the author of a few books combining the subjects of pedagogy and history – he was engaged in scientific activity almost all his life. He published some of his research works in the Silesian scientific journal: „Oberschlesische Heimat. Zeitschrift des OberschlesischenGeschichtsvereins”, and he was actively participating in the activities of the Upper Silesian Historical Society founded in 1904. The members of that society focused their work mainly on the history of local communities, creating accounts contributing to the synthetic history of Upper Silesia. The preliminary archival query found the first articles of Fr. Urban, concerning the history of the lands of Lubliniec and Koszęcin. The author shares the preliminary results of his research, the aim of which is to publish a book about this forgotten researcher of local history on the hundredth anniversary of his death.

Medical Policy

Since the 1980s, the rise of local history scholarship has increasingly pushed historians of medicine of Japan’s Tokugawa period to examine how people dealt with sickness and disease in local communities. Scholars have shown that while local people benefitted from the rising number of village doctors, the shogunate and domains provided scant medical services. In part for this reason, the history of medical policy in the Tokugawa has been understudied, despite important initiatives by some domains to employ physicians and distribute drugs to save lives. Specifically, this article examines how the Akita domain was more actively engaged in medical policy than the shogunate or other domains, both in terms of ideology and administration. The Tenmei famine (1782-1788) sparked political reformation in Akita, leading newly educated officials to play a significant role in providing medical aid to the population, especially miners, as an act of benevolent government.

The Town

The study of local communities is important in modern history. Local history helps to understand the peculiarities of the historical development of the regions and their inhabitants. The article examines statistical and socio-cultural information about the small town of Zmiiv in the early nineteenth century. The article analyzes the plan of the town of Zmiiv and the seal of the town of Zmiiv. The composition of the city’s residents is also analyzed and compared with the Chuhuiv town. Town Zmiiv is located in the Kharkiv region. In the XIX century Zmiiv was the district (povit) center. Analysis of the town’s development shows that gradual processes of modernization have begun in Zmiiv. Beyond to statistics, the ideas of the local gentleman Fedir Krychevsky about the town and its history are analyzed. Krychevsky lived in Zmiv in the early nineteenth century. Krychevsky’s reasoning helps us to understand how provincial nobles imagined an ideal city in the early nineteenth century. The local nobility formed the local urban identity. It was a premodern town in reality and in their imagination as well. He was the head of the local nobility. It is possible to reconstruct the stereotypes of this nobleman about the town of Zmiiv. The province is a place where urban and rural cultures interact. Nowhere is this more visible than in province town. Zmiiv is a typical town in eastern Ukraine. Exploring its features will help to better understand the history of this region.

Professor Edward Loth was an outstanding scientist, author of numerous scientific dissertations, including 7 monographs cited all over the world to this day. The life and scientific achievements of prof. Loth have been described in many detailed studies focusing both on his didactic activities and active participation in the fight against the German invader during World War II. Due to the military experience gained during World War I and the Polish-Bolshevik war of 1920 as well as the medical specialization in the field of orthopedics and rehabilitation, prof. Loth was especially qualified to manage the sanitary facilities of the Home Army during the German occupation in Poland. Almost all studies show that Professor Loth was awarded, among others The Order of Virtuti Militari and that he was given the title of “Righteous Among the Nations”. Unfortunately none of the existing articles describe the circumstances in which Professor helped Jews and who applied for his candidacy for this prestigious distinction. Due to the scientific research on the history of the doctors of the Warsaw ghetto, the author reached documents and accounts describing the so-called ”rescue story” and the name of the person whom help was given.

Copper Transfer

The Tsumeb copper mine in the Otavi Mountains of Namibia is famous both for its spectacular mineral specimens and for its unparalleled diversity of mineral species. The site was mined for nearly 100 years, first by Anglo-German and then by multinational companies; however, prior to that, the site was central to the economies of the Ndonga, Haiǁom, and Herero, who mined, smelted, crafted, and traded the copper. This paper attempts to fill a major gap in the early history of Tsumeb: how did control of Tsumeb’s copper transfer from local communities to Germany? By synthesizing a wide variety of sources, this paper tells pre-colonial and early colonial histories of copper in the Tsumeb area, focusing on the Haiǁom who mined the copper, the Ndonga who smelted and crafted it, and the Herero who had historical relationships with the land. Throughout, the paper attempts to connect Tsumeb’s local history with the larger regional context of South West Africa (now Namibia), and to provide a more in-depth account of the communities whose roles, in previous mineralogic histories of Tsumeb, have been reduced to: ‘trouble with the natives.’

The Thomas More Society of Buenos Aires begins or ends almost all its events by reciting in both English and Spanish a prayer written by More in the margins of his Book of Hours probably while he was a prisoner in the Tower of London. After a short history of what is called Thomas More’s Prayer Book, the author studies the prayer as a poem written in the form of a psalm according to the structure of Hebrew poetry, and looks at the poem’s content as a psalm of lament.

The Way

The Civil War is one of the largest tragedies in the history of our country. One of its dramatic episodes is the rebel movement led by A.S. Antonov which took place in the Tambov gubenia in 1920–1921 and was brutally suppressed by the Bolsheviks. Its scope is evidenced by the fact that it went beyond the borders of the Tambov gubernia. Separate detachments of Antonovites from the autumn of 1920 to the summer of 1921 raided the territory of the Balashov uyezd of the neighboring Saratov gubernia. The paper attempts to consider the way the uyezd authorities fought the rebels and the way civilians treated them. On the basis of an analysis of the local archival material most of which has not yet been put into scientific circulation, periodicals and the local history literature the author comes to the following conclusion: every time the invasions of Antonov’s detachments into the territory of the Balashov uyezd were so rapid that the local authorities did not manage to organize a proper rebuff, and the peasants, for the most part, supported the rebels since they saw spokesmen and defenders of their interests in them. Only frequent requisitions of peasants’ property by Antonovites as well as the replacement of the surplus appropriation system (Prodrazvyorstka) by the tax in kind (Prodnalog) led to the fact that since the spring of 1921 the support of the rebels by the local population ceased.
