Abstract
A strong impetus to the development of Croatian science in the 19th century was given by
various modern societies and institutions. One of them was Družtvo za jugoslavensku pověstnicu
i starine (Association for the Yugoslavian History and Antiquities) founded in Zagreb
in 1850 encouraged by Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski from Varaždin. Kukuljević’s Družtvo was
in fact the first organized professional community, and Arkiv was the first national scientific journal. Arkiv was, mostly irregularly, published from 1851 to 1875. Twelve volumes of articles
and documents have been published in total, mainly from the national history. Meanwhile,
relying on the help of Matica ilirska, magazine Književnik (1864-67) was established, with the
purpose of preparing staff for the future Academy (JAZU). As soon as it was established,
the Academy launched its own scientific editions, including specialized journals. It was the
beginning of the tradition of modern national scientific periodicals. The main merit for this
belongs to Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski and his journal Arkiv.
