Sažetak
Annals of the Saint Anne´s Elementary School in Osijek (former Lower Elementary School) present a fundamental starting point for this paper. These chronicles are handwritten records created throughout schoolyears (for almost two centuries). The purpose and aim of this paper are to present these facts as specific and valuable evidence about the school in the context of social and historical events and to single out subjective statements that create a special feature of recorded events. On the one hand, they are precisely quoted facts, often presented in numbers, and on the other, they are comments about specific happenings in the school or the town. Although these records are exclusively handwritten subject matter, created by writing down school events, the purpose here is to point out the specifics that differ them from some printed reports created as parts of assigned forms. Consistency in noting down and journaling is visible in the punctual and precise naming of persons (teachers, headmaster teachers, visits of renowned persons), and for example in the facts related to the amounts of money spent during each school year. Despite the numerous historical data and events which influenced the work of the school, subjective features are visible in handwritten and journaled units of every single period covered by this paper. Only certain events that marked the period from 1896/97 until the end of 1945/46 have been singled out. The purpose is to prove that this „scholarly document“ is not only „scholarly“ but has a firm link to the manuscript material, objective information which was the essential part, and inevitable personal tone which differs from various journals throughout different periods.
The handwritten material is placed in two volumes of yearbooks: Volume I. journals the school years 1896/97 until the end of the school year 1937. Volume II. follows the beginning of the new school year 1937/38 and ends with the year 1995. It is interesting to note that the word „Annal“ appears with each school year until the year 1916 after which time only the term „school year“ is used
