Zbirka svjedoči o tridesetpetogodišnjem djelovanju hrvatskoga novinara i publicista Jakše Kušana (1931.) koji je od 1955. do 1990. u iseljeništvu propagirao ideje o demokratskoj, pluralističkoj i slobodnoj Hrvatskoj. Uređujući nestranački list Nova Hrvatska nastojao je domaću i svjetsku javnost informirati o ograničavanju ljudskih prava i građanskih sloboda u socijalističkoj Hrvatskoj odnosno Jugoslaviji.

 The Jan Hus Educational Foundation's collection presents an extraordinary set of materials documenting a work of a British organization focusing on supporting of cultural opposition in Czechoslovakia, mainly through underground university, scholarships, and the publication and translation of forbidden or unaccessable books.  

The collection is important proof of the activities of a left-thinking historian, a "spiritual father" and co-founder of the Committee for the Defence of the Unjustly Prosecuted (VONS), a co-publisher of unofficial periodic Dialogy, who was imprisoned several times and forced to go to exile, where he collaborated with dissidents from other socialist countries.  

The collection of Jan Trefulka documents the transformation of a prominent writer and an engaged Communist into a dissident, a signatory of the Charter 77 publishing in samizdat and exile periodicals. The collection contains Jan Trefulka's personal materials, documents related to his samizdat activities, literary works and editorial work in a periodical Host do domu.
