Summary: The subject of the research project "Croats in neighbouring
countries: history, culture, perspectives" are different characteristics of
the oldest Croatian emigrants in Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and
Italy. The aim of the project is inquiring of their real position,
perspectives and connections with Croatia as their homeland. The monograph
will be an outline of this project.
Research goals: Immediately after its foundation in 1971, the
Institute forCroatian History initiated and organized the project "History
andculture of the Burgenland Croats". After many difficulties the project
was completed and the book "A History of Croats from Burgenland - history
and culture". As the project about the history andculture of the
Burgenland Croats has now been completed, weconsidered it necessary to
begin research into all Croatianethnic minorities in neighbouring
countries-Austria, Hungary,Slovakia, Romania and Italy. Besides
illuminating their historyand culture, it will be necessary to establish
their trueposition, perspectives of development and especially
theirconnections with their mother country Croatia. The basic goal ofthe
project is to prepare and publish the monograph Croats inneighbouring
countries: history, culture, perspectives. Themonograph will contain a
textual part, historical maps and thelike, and high-quality reproductions
of the most important itemsfrom the heritage of those Croats. Thus
special attention waspaid to the collection of such documentation.
