The article is dedicated to the questions of the emergence and starting years of the present Institute of History of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. It is divided into several parts: brief introductory words, a short survey of the development of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences from 1911 to 1947, respectively to 1949 when appeared and was established the Institute proper, called then Institute for Bulgarian History at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, the solving of its main tasks during that period: the formation of groups of translators of the Greek and Latin sources, the writing of the first comprehensive two-volume “History of Bulgaria”, the formation of the first periodical publications of the Institute and the establishment of its initial international links. The principal conclusion of the author about the development of all these themes sound most topical. It is proved above all that in point of fact the transformation of the Academy after the Second World War from a closed organization into a broad system of scientific units and consequently the establishment of the Institute of History were not only imposed by the activities of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and of the expansion of its fundamental tasks. This called for a bigger team of scholars not only with high academic degrees but also of lower ranks to start work on these tasks. Of this convincingly speaks the fact that already in 1943, in the first and most: important branch of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences – that of history and philology – it became necessary to appoint assistants who should engage in the preparation of a full dictionary of the Bulgarian language and then in the translation of the foreign sources of Bulgarian history, etc. By adding new tasks the Institute of History has grown into a big and authoritative centre for national Bulgarian and general history. Without such a centre no scientific life exists in any developed country at present.
