Abstract
School journals, most of which have been preserved in the State Archives in Slavonski Brod, are an important archival source for studying the history of education in the Slavonski Brod region. Of 28 journals preserved at our institution, we are presenting 22 that were kept from before 1920. This paper aims to demonstrate that the journals are not only sources of school history, but also the sole written sources of information about the cultural and political history of smaller communities. Most village schools in the Brod area were opened around 1830 and most of the journal entries date back to the 1880s as it was officially ordered at the time that they should be kept. Most of them are in a poor condition and are begging to be restored.
