Kábová, Hana
The contribution describes effort and activities of the first Professor of historical homeland study Josef Vítězslav Šimák (1870-1941), which led to establishing regional history periodicals, both in theory and metodology or in practice (particular periodicals of Šimák´s home region such as Od Ještěda k Troskám, Boleslavan, Sborník okresu železnobrodského, Lomnicko nad Popelkou, Bezděz, Krkonoše). The contribution covers the period since the 1890s until Šimák´s death.

Zdeněk Wirth and Pelhřimov - Karel Polesný, Pavel Janák, and the Pelhřimov branch of the Club for Old Prague (1908-1914)
Kábová, Hana
The young scholar of arts Zdeněk Wirth had close links with Pelhřimov. One of the key figures in the cultural life of the town was Karel Polesný (1880-1971), a grammar school teacher, a historian and a former fellow-student of Wirth at the art studies seminar. He can be used as an example to demonstrate links between the environment of a provincial town and modern tendencies in architecture and monument conservation. Important events were the creation of the first book about this small town (Wirth - Polesný, Pelhřimov, 1911), and the foundation and activities of the Pelhřimov branch of the Club for Old Prague, of which Polesný became president. With Wirth’s support Polesný brought the leading architects Pavel Janák, Otakar Novotný, and Josef Chochol to Pelhřimov. The background context of the buildings Janák designed in Pelhřimov is of interest either.
