Abstract
Koloman Rac was born in Varaždin on September 19, 1863. He attended the Varazdin Gymnasium from 1874 to 1882 and married Zora Kraljek in 1887, as evidenced by the archival records from the State Archives in Varazdin (Registers of births and marriages and Main catalogues and Minutes of matriculation exams of Varazdin Gymnasium). The most important records for the biography of Koloman Rac are preserved in the State Archives in Zagreb. The book The register of teachers is particularly noteworthy. It belongs to the fonds HR-DAZG-103 II. Classical Gymnasium in Zagreb and it lists the data about his education, all of his workplaces and published translations and books he wrote. The records in the State Archives in Gospic reveal very little about the work of Koloman Rac, however, the data from the register of birth 1887-1894 allow exploring his family life because four of his children were born in Gospic. Besides the mentioned Register of teachers, data on life of Koloman Rac in Zagreb, where he spent most of his life, are contained in the funds of the City Council of Zagreb (funds 10 and 24) at the State Archives in Zagreb. His family is registered in the Directory of residents of the city of Zagreb and his fifth child is mentioned there, while the Coroner register and Grave book of Mirogoj cemetery contain information about his death on January 23, 1937.
