Veteran Circle of Hungarian Legionists in Provence

This unique collection of historical resources presently at the Blinken-OSA Archives was explored and produced by Béla Nóvé, a Hungarian historian and documentary filmmaker based in Budapest. He conducted extensive oral history and archival research in France and Hungary during the period 2011–2017. The collection contains both private and legionary, digital- and paper-based materials of the more than 4,000 Hungarian volunteers who joined the French Foreign Legion (FFL) following 1945 and 1956. Particular focus is placed on those circa 500 Hungarian minors, who took an active part in the 1956 Hungarian revolution and freedom fight, then fled to the West as refugees and joined the FFL, just to find themselves soon in the devastating battles of the Algerian war. Among them, a few dozen veterans still keep in contact and regularly meet in Provence, in the south of France.

Victor Frunză Collection at IICCMER

The Victor Frunză Collection is an important historical source for understanding and writing the history of that part of the Romanian exile community which was actively involved in supporting dissidents in the country and in publicising in the West the repressive or aberrant policies of the Ceaușescu regime. In particular, the collection illustrates the activity of the collector and other personalities of the exile community for respecting human rights in Romania. Also, the documents of this collection reflect the involvement of Romanians from abroad in the reconstruction of democracy in their country of origin.

Vidici - Journal

"Vidici" [Horizons] was one of the most prominent Yugoslav magazines for literature and culture. During the socialist period the journal was often targeted by the authorities and repeatedly banned, due to its criticism of the Communist party’s social and cultural policies. The magazine "Vidici" is kept as part of the collection "Periodicals", and does not represent a separate library unit. All the available numbers are kept in two institutions - the National Library of Serbia and the University Library of Belgrade.
