This study looks at the issue of migration processes in relation to integration in the early modern urban society and its methodological background in terms of socio-historical and cultural-historic research. In regard to options for further development of local historiographic research, the concept of interculturalism is focused on, as a reflection on the space for cultures to encounter each other and mutually define themselves. Using the example of research of immigration into Prague towns during the pre-White Mountain period, opportunities for applying it are outlined and the source base available is characterised. Its effective use should be linked first of all with prosopographic research.
