Vlasta Mádlová:
Photo-documentation of life of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in the first decade of its existence

Abstract

Masaryk Institute and Archives of the CAS manage a large archival fonds Reportáže ČSAV a AV ČR (Reportages of Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and Czech Academy of Sciences). The fonds, which has not been organised yet, is a unique collection of photo reportages documenting not only the activities of the central Academy institutions, but also the individual institutes, their facilities and equipment, academic and research activities and prominent employees. That is why, next to Bohumil Vavroušek’s photo collection, Fotosbírka is one of the most used archival photographic fonds.
