SINIŠA HORVAT
Abstract
After the implementation of the new educational reform (informally known as
the Thun reform) in Gimnazija Varaždin, according to its requirements the school
started publishing their annual reports. They were issued for about one hundred
years from 1852 to 1944, after the end of each school year. Their contents entailed
the entire activity overview of Gimnazija Varaždin and the accomplishments
of their teachers and students throughout the past year. Due to the value of the
data they contain, they are an exceptional source for researching the history of the
school, the past of the city of Varaždin and Croatian education in general.
An additional value of the reports are professional and scientific papers that
cover a variety of topics from language and literature, history, art, culture, pedagogy,
and numerous disciplines in the field of natural sciences. Those were usually
published at the beginning of the report by teaching staff of the school. The results
of their research work often represented a significant contribution to the study of
the past, culture, or natural features of the Varaždin region and even today represent
a quality basis and starting point for contemporary research in these areas.
