Editorial activities of museums in late 19th and early 20th century (EDIČNÁ ČINNOSŤ MÚZEÍ V DRUHEJ POLOVICI 19. A PRVEJ POLOVICI 20. STOROČIA)

Abstract

This paper examines the publication and editorial activities of museums in the territory of present-day Slovakia, starting in 1868 when first museums were founded, up until 1945. We analyze the growth of museums and the widening scope of their mission which culminated in the late 1930s by using exhibition catalogues, scholarly publications and periodicals published by museums or the foundations that ran them.
