Cultural Associations and Nation-building

Summary/Abstract: The 19th century history of cultural associations offers a rich and important variety of resources for social history research. The historical records of Kölcsey Association in Arad not only make it possible to reconstruct the restricted validity of a local-scale initiative, but also reveal the role of a particularly important institution with diverse functions in the social life of the age. In this study, I try to place the history of the first years of the Kölcsey Association in the context of contemporary association life, and I try to interpret the role of the association in the nation-building efforts of the era through a case study.
