ANTONÍN MARKUS - BIOGRAPHICAL STUDIES
HOMEROVÁ, Libuše
Antonín Markus (1886 {--} 1968) is a very important historian and archivist in history of the State regional archive in Třeboň as well as in the history of the Czech archival science in general. Native of Wien, who spent most of his life in south Bohemian Třeboň, was graduated from studies of history and auxiliary historical sciences at the Philosophical faculty of the Charles - Ferdinands University in Prague in 1910. He was a student of important Czech historians Jaroslav Goll, Josef Pekař and Josef Šusta. He passed the state archive exam it the prestigious "Institut für Österreichische Geschichtsforschung" in 1911. Markus entered the service of prince Schwarzenberg´s archive in 1910 thanks to Goll´s and Šusta´s recommendation. He was nominated as the head archivist in 1925 and became it´s cheif. He had worked in the Třeboň archive till his enforced retirement in 1945. First time he drew attention to himself was document separation with Austria after 1918. He also played an important role by the contraction of so called Archive agreement in 1936. He was an important Czech genealogist, popularizer of genealogy and a founder of the Genealogy society (1929). Markus´ rich publication activities deal mostly with archival science, genealogy and monument preservation. The presented bachelor work is grounded on studies of personal archive files. Markus´ correspondence and sketchy written recollections are the most important sources of my research. The text of my bachelor work is divided into three parts. The opening part brings a list of used archive funds and a short discourse on the used literature. The second and also the most extensive part, which is further structured into single chapters, deals with Markus´ private and professional life in details. A short chapter in the final part explains Markus´ appearance, his characteristic features, attitude etc. The general evaluation of Markus´ life and work is presented too.
