The author deals with the content of the concept of textile culture. He describes the process of its definition as the example of the development from ethnographic to ethnological (anthropological) understanding of material culture as the object of this/these as well as other scientific disciplines on culture, history and society. He also concentrates on the relationship of folk and traditional textile culture from the perspective of ethnography, ethnology, history of art and archeology. He stresses the importance of the study of textile technology as the base of knowledge of the textile culture for any discipline mentioned above.

In order to show the connection between a personal diary and history the author first differentiates between a diary which is a discourse and one which is a written practice. Both at the discourse level and, especially, at the written practice level, a personal diary differs from literature because of its clear relation to the context in which it was created and its specific function in the life and culture of the person keeping it - which cannot be reflected by any printed form. The article draws attention to the most important historical functions of a diary - from registering trading operations and calculating income and expenditure through recording family history, individual experiences of the world, contemplation and auto-therapy to significance as a work of literature. It includes a separate sub-chapter devoted to the material aspects of keeping diaries, suggesting that the material aspect is a legitimate part of its significance (describing material aspects, the diary supports, writing tools, the material traces of a diary being used and its fate after it is no longer being kept). At the end the author shows what research into diaries as a written practice could give rise to a new way of recording cultural history. He also draws attention to the increasing importance of private, family and public archives which keep personal documents such as diaries.

The Thessalonian brothers are known among Slovak and Slavonic people as translators of the Scriptures into a language comprehensible to the people in the Great Moravian Empire and to other Slavs. Their evangelical mission and the creation of a language of worship has a Christian, cultural-emancipatory, ethno-identifying and at the same time ethno-differentiating character in the connection with Slavs as well as in relation to nations from other language groups or families. Slovakia adequately respects these personalities and their merits: St Cyril and Methodius Day celebrated on 5th July is dedicated to them, and this day is also the Day of Foreign Slovaks. These missionaries are thus in the centre of a contextual circle: Slavs - Slovaks in Slovakia and abroad - Cyril and Methodius – ethno-cultural identity. In researching individual components of cultural potential of the Lowland Slovaks, in the last three decades we have found much evidence to show how these personalities became part of the cultural of the Lowland Slovaks: as part of the church history, Christian theory and cultural history; memorial days in Christian calendars; providing the names for parishes and churches; the object of school teaching; Slavic and Slovak reciprocity; specific ways of commemorating the Thessalonian brothers through the visual arts, institutional celebrations and forgiveness as specific ecclesiastical, social and cultural events at the level of local and Christian communities and institutions; roads in the footsteps of Cyril and Methodius leading to Slovakia and to Nitra and deepening the companionship with the mother nation. The aim of the paper is to point out the interdisciplinary contexts of the study of their reflections in the Slovaks living in Lowland.

When mapping cultural and, more specifically, literary history of the Slovaks living in historical Hungarian Lowland, which is - in terms of contemporary political geography - mainly the territory of Slovak enclaves in Serbia, Hungary and Romania, what appears to be one of the important sources is memoirs, written in various periods of time. In the context of the research into the times at the turn of the 20th century, stretching into the following decades of the 20th century, there are several sources of this kind available in books as well as in manuscripts. The subject of the paper is the issues in editorial processing of the memoirs written by Slovak notables who lived and worked in Lowland, especially in the early 20th century, either all their lives (Ján Čajak) or just for a short time (Ivan Thurzo, Pavel Gallo), alternatively by those who, after moving to Slovakia, contributed to the cultural life of that time (Andrej Mráz). The selected writings are similar in subject. However, what is different is the nature of the preserved materials as well as the size, composition, and especially the way they were presented to the readers. While Čajak´s memoirs have not been published to date, those of Thurzo´s and Gall´s were abridged in comparison with the original manuscript versions, and so were those written by Mráz, which were first published in a magazine and later as a book. The focus is given to the textological principles applied to the book edition, editorial changes made in the manuscripts and the issue of the editor´s authority to change the original text.

Museums as purposeful constructions with exhibition halls, collections, restorers' workshops, libraries and office premises have been built since the early 19th century. Three museum buildings were constructed in Latvia in the late 19th - early 20th century. One of them was the Kurzeme Province Museum designed by the architect and first Baltic art historian Wilhelm Neumann and opened in Jelgava (Mitau) in 1898. Neither values collected there nor the museum building itself and the town where it was placed had a lucky fortune. All was lost due to social degradation and violence. The collection was disintegrated during the repatriation of Baltic Germans in 1939 but the building was bombed down at the end of World War II in July and August 1944. The article intends to prompt the history of the museum and to reconstruct its building process, planning and furnishings to re-establish it as a part of the cultural history of Latvia. In the first half of the 19th century the former capital of the Duchy of Courland, previously residence of dukes and landed gentry, saw a rising civil society after its annexation to the Russian Empire. On 23 November 1815 the Kurzeme Literature and Art Society was founded. The Society quickly obtained public support in Jelgava. In 1818 a museum was opened at the Society, initiated by historian Johann Friedrich Recke. The museum was meant to collect everything worth of interest in art, nature and science, and to preserve values giving insight into the civil, political, spiritual and physical life of the country. As interest was growing not just on pre-classical and classical cultural centres, national specificity of each culture increased in importance. So the most diverse evidences and natural history samples from various cultures, including exotic countries, successfully coexisted in the Kurzeme Province Museum. The typical 19th century approach of historicist retrospection, a tendency to collect everything available and interesting, allowed the most different items to coexist. Selection was mostly accidental, not purposeful. Such an attitude is not incompatible with deliberate analysis and systematisation of objects.

The study is concerned with the interpretative possibilities provided by oaths in the context of Early Modern society in the Kingdom of Hungary. Using the example of texts of oaths from the end of the 17th century and first half of the 18th century from the royal borough of Bardejov, it analyses the changes occurring in the environment of the burghers or holders of burgher rights and their political elites. Attention is devoted to the development of relationships between the centre, endeavouring to increase uniformity and incorporate the town into the structures serving the aim of establishing state power in the modern sense of the word, and the town community, which strove to maintain its particular rights. Confessional differences also played an important role in the process. The cultural and social roles of the languages in which the oath texts are recorded, are also interpreted.

In this study authoress investigates Slovak literary life with an emphasis on literary journalism in the second half of the 20th century, and especially in the period 1945 – 1948, when the basic direction of Slovak and Czech society in the revived post-war Czechoslovakia was decided, and not only on the cultural, but chiefly on the socio-political level. On the cultural-political level, the heirs of the Czech and Slovak avant-gardes clashed with the forces of the traditional liberal and conservative right in the fields of social and artistic activity. The introductory part of the study is a sort of sounding into the past of inter-war Modernism, which was carried on a wave of revolutionary feeling, stimulated by an idealized idea of the liberating power of the Russian revolution. The author sees this period not only as an artistic phenomenon, but also in terms of the inter-connection of culture and politics. Culture, the home territory and autonomous field of the intellectual and the artist, could easily be manipulated when drawn into the political sphere. It could easily be ideologized under the pretext that it had to serve a higher aim, such as revival of the nation or the chosen class, especially after 1948, when it became the dominant state forming group. Culture, both Czech and Slovak, had been long accustomed to a politicized function. The new individual and collective positions after 1945 further radicalized and petrified them.

The article informs about the exhibition “Mērija's Journey. The Grosvalds Family Story” at the Latvian National Museum of Art (06.09.-24.11.2019) and the docudrama “Mērija's Journey” (2018). Both projects were based on scientific research about an important figure in Latvia's cultural history – Mērija Grīnberga (1909-1975). She was an offspring of a wealthy family and, being a museum employee, accompanied the values of Latvia's museums evacuated by the Nazi regime to the present Czech Republic; when the Red Army captured the territory, she guarded these values on their way back to the Soviet Latvia, thus saving a large part of the country's history from destruction and oblivion.

Michal Jan Borch (full name Michal Jan Alois Anton Borch, 1753-1810), christened in Varaklani on 1 July 1753, was a natural scientist and writer whose name is recognized in Europe and inscribed in the history of science. To understand Borch’s personality, it is important to consider his wide scope of interests and education-based competence. He was well versed in classical literature, poetry and history, had studied the basics of botany, physics, mathematics, architecture and land surveying as well as drawing, music and several languages. Borch wrote his works in French in which he was fluent and even Voltaire is said to have praised the young Borch’s mastery of French. His correspondence is also mainly in French, including letters to his father and mother. On an everyday level, the Count communicated and wrote in Polish and German; he also learned English and Italian, and wrote verse in French, Italian and Latvian. Borch had a scholarly interest in natural resources and the population of other countries, very typical of Enlightenment-era nobility and intellectuals. This enthusiasm was fully developed during his research travels. In his early twenties, he toured Germany, France, Switzerland and Italy from 1774 to 1778, and then set out for Holland and England in 1790. He was captivated most by two Mediterranean islands Sicily and Malta, describing them with much fervour. Months spent in Sicily (23 September 1776 - 25 April 1777) provided diverse research material for seven books printed in Italy, which describe the nature of Sicily, Malta and Italy - stones, ancient monuments and people combined with historical, natural and anthropological aspects.
