Abstract
The research into the history of Dubrovnik intensified in the second half of the nineteenth century thanks to the initiative of Dr . Franjo Rački, within the Yugoslav, today Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts. One of the researchers was Antun Vučetić
(Dubrovnik, 1845 - Dubrovnik, 1931), history teacher at the Dubrovnik Gymnasium, school overseer and archivist. Valuable data regarding Vučetić's activity which included the copying and publishing of documents relevant for the history of Dubrovnik have
been found in his correspondence with Franjo Rački at the HAZU Archive and the State Archives in Dubrovnik, which are analysed and presented in this paper. Given that the correspondence elucidates Vučetić's research and copying activities in great detail, it facilitates insight into the preparation of the material for print. Owing to the effort of Antun Vučetić and other collaborators in the preparation of these editions, published are volumes II and III of the Monumenta Ragusina, Libri reformationum series (1882, 1895).
