Abstract

The first issue of the Osijek Journal in 1942 was published in the Antique Fellowship "Mursa" edition and the National Museum in Osijek. The first editor, a notable Osijek historian Dr Josip Bósendorf, edited the next double issue, too. This museum paper was meant to show not only validity and devotion in work of the Osijek Museum employees but also a collection wealth of the Osijek Museum. The next issues were edited by Dr Danica Pinterovic, creating a thematic journal in this way such as prehistory, Roman archaeology, local history, antifascist struggle, art life, ethnography, Osijek bibliography and at the same time she invited numerous contributors. After Dr Pinterovic, the Osijek Journals have been edited by : Emil Spajic, Nikola Kosanovic, Vesna Buric MA., Branka Ajredini, Mladen Radie.

Conceptually the Osijek Journal no. 12 stands out; in which elaborated works from the International Scientific Conference on Limes in Osijek were
published and no. 17 in which the works of the 100th Anniversary Museum Meeting were published. With no.21 came the change in its graphic design and the next number brought a larger format. The double issue 22-23 surpassed other editions in size and number of contributors. Coming out in shorter or longer intervals, the Osijek Journal tended to publish various contributions that were connected with the Museum of Slavonia activities and with time it spread thematically in Slavonia and Baranya assembling numerous experts from Croatia and abroad. The oldest publication of this type in eastern Croatia is distributed nowadays by inter-library exchange to more than four hundred related institutes in Croatia and abroad.

A painstaking and devoted effort of generations of curators, experts and art lovers has left its mark in today's recognized and esteemed publication - the Osijek Journal.
