Paris

Cooperation with French colleagues was already established when carrying out the Provenio grant project (2012–2015, methodology for processing provenances, conference on the person and work of Hanuš Jelínek). During preparations for the current project, a deeper mapping out of the history of Czech-French relations was planned out through the study of Bohemian collections (in both archives and libraries) in France. Following preparatory searches in the online categories of libraries there, employees visited the aforementioned Paris-based institutions. In total 139 books (primarily prints from the 19th–20th century), 8 cartons of archival materials, and several additional ledgers and card catalogues were studied firsthand.
