Research goals: The goal of researching according to the project is completing, enrichment and development of Dubrovnik historiography. In this, one must to keep in mind that this historiography so far was mainly Serbian provenance (e.g. reference between Serbian and Croatian historians is 5:1 !) which has essential influence on foreign, as well as national authors in interpretation of historical events. The goal of researching is also an exposition and comprehension of one unique phenomenon. The Dubrovnik Republic, its organization, political and cultural ranges are not one elite segment in Croatian being only, but also in world-wide relations which is confirmed through the work on several proffesorships existing in Europe and USA. The Republic of Dubrovnik phenomenon should be considerately respected apart of the continuance of the Croatian state sovereignity and before all in this relation too. The goal of this project is also to get acquainted the community in Croatia and Dubrovnik itself, with its own past. Main accents concerning this very goal are researching on demographic history of Dubrovnik and getting acquainted its inhabitants with their origin, family-name and other relevant elements regarding their existence on Dubrovnik area. All mentioned goals will be achieved by the publishing of series of books and scientific disertations. In the next two years we shall publish books "The Family Between 13th-15th Century in Dubrovnik", "The Families on the Pelješac Peninsula", and afterwards "The Inhabitants of Konavle", "The Cadastral-book of Konavle in 15th Century", etc. The series of economical, political, demographical, cultural themes is going to be elaborated through disertations printed in the publication of the Institute for Historical Sciences HAZU in Dubrovnik named "Anali", as well as in the other scientific publications.
