Antonín Verbík (1934–1986), an archivist and historian, whose death came prematurely, had received an outstanding secondary and tertiary education. He worked for sixteen years in six archival institutions in Czechoslovakia and became director of three of them. The subsequent fifteen years he worked as an expert and independent researcher of the most recent Czechoslovak history at the Institute of History. His life and work were limited to a great extent by the times he lived in.
