2010: The Foundation of Political History is 20 Years Old
“…knowing that the documents kept in the archive of the Institute of Political History and the enormous material of the library represents national heritage and value” the founder worded the aims of the organisation in 1990 the following way: “The Institute of Political History based on the materials kept in its archive and library provides an expanding opportunity for Hungarian and foreign researchers. It promotes the comparative scientific examinations, the international orientation of Hungarian researchers engaged in the questions of modern history and left movements.”
The founder-chairman was Sándor Balogh, historian, university professor, the former director of the institute.
The Foundation of Political History went through a massive development during these two decades. It received the rights to run the Institute of Political History, established the Napvilág Publishing House and the Egyenlítő magazine. In 1999 it qualified as a public utility organization. The Foundation enriched the Hungarian intellectual life with series of conferences, scientific calls for proposals, scholarships, public debates, exhibitions and dozens of volumes, while it significantly improved the valuable files of its archive and library.
