Haasová, M. ; Kábová, Hana
František Záviška (1879-1945)habilitated in theoretical physics at Charles University (Prague) in 1906, he was appointed professor extraordinarius in 1914 and professor ordinarius in 1919. He studied in the Cavendish laboratory in Cambridge (1906/7). He was physicist, primarily engaged in physical optics, theories of electromagnetic fields and hydrodynamics. He became member of the Royal Bohemian Learned Society (1919), the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts (1914) and the Association of Czechoslovak Mathematicians and Physicists (1898). His personal papers are housed in 14 boxes. Biographical documents are rather rich as regards his study and university career, though correspondence, scientific work and documentation from his public activities are scarce. Set of testimonies of Záviška's death, obituaries, memories and articles to jubilees are an important part of the fonds. Documentation of his wife, Emilie Antonie, née Škodová, is preserved, too.
