Summary/Abstract: The 70th birthday of the ethnographer, native historian and historian Bela Csorba is an appropriate event to review and evaluate the results of this fruitful and creative career. The focus of the scientist's interest was the history of his native village, Temerin, however, when exploring the events and values of folk life he always liked to see and expand the area of southern Bacska. During his research career of more than half a century, he has always, as in every activity, evaluated the work of the Hungarian community in creating authentic values, occasionally emphasizing the importance of the activities of some exceptional individuals. In his ethnographic books he summed up two hundred years of the history of his beloved community.
