The Otto von Habsburg Foundation started processing the legacy of its namesake in 2019. In recent years, we have developed a collection policy, a basic structure for the archives and a methodology for digital access. The event will present the achievements of the thematic processing of the different collection areas (archival, library and material collections).Lutheran Central Collection
The first part of Otto von Habsburg’s legacy to be made available digitally on the online platform is the Hungarian-language correspondence of the secretariat, part of the photo collection and excerpts from video interviews made by Péter Bokor and Gábor Hanák in the 1980s.
In 2022, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the death of King Charles IV, we organised a conference together with the VERITAS Institute, and published the proceedings, along with studies by a number of Austrian historians. We also issued a volume of documents containing new details of the period of the royal family’s exile in Madeira.
As our Foundation is located in the building of the national headquarters of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Hungary, the event will be followed by a visit to the collection rooms of our Foundation and to parts of the Lutheran Central Collection (Podmaniczky-Degenfeld Library, Péter Esterházy and Gitta Library).
The event will be followed by a modest reception.
We look forward to welcoming you.
