Summary: Work of the Krk Historical Society between 1969 and 2009
Milan Radić
Abstract
The Krk Historical Society was founded in 1969 and has been active continuously to this day. For reasons of tradition and "brand" we are keeping the name Krk Historical Society, although, officially, since 1997 the Society is on record as the Historical Association of the Island of Krk. The field of work of the Society is a broad one. The Society initiated or participated in the renewal or restoration of historic buildings, foundation of museums and collections, arranging archival materials, organising scientific and specialised conferences and workshops of popular character, fostering the folklore and other cultural heritage. The Society follows the cultural tradition of the island contributing through its editions to the cultural events on our island. When they were starting with the first volume of Krčki zbornik, the founders couldn’t probably even imagine that in a relatively short period, from 1970 till 2009, in just 40 years – five of which were war years – they would manage to realise as many as 65 volumes of Krčki zbornik.
