The History and Role of the Erdélyi Múzeum in the Hungarian Scientific Life of Transylvania

Summary/Abstract: The annual of the Transylvanian Museum Society (Erdélyi Múzeum-Egyesület) was founded in 1874 and lead by Henrik Finály, professor of linguistics and history. Chronologically, the history of the annual may be divided in seven, from the point of view of concept and form quite distinctive and yet related periods. The annual has mainly published studies in social and human science and several articles in the field of natural science. Since its existence the annual assumes two aims: to present the activity of the society’s departments and publish studies written by domestic and foreign authors. The publication acts like a forum offering specialized information that combines European and Transylvanian tradition with topics from the field of interethnic dialogue, self-knowledge and preservation of heritage.
