LAST BUT NOT LEAST...
SUMMER CAMP
... held by the Vas County Archives of the National Archives of Hungary
The topic of the camp was to collect documents regarding a settlement very close to the Hungarian-Slovenian border, Kondorfa. The target group of the camp was high school students from Hungary and Slovenia plus the citizens - probably elders - of Kondorfa.
SUMMER
CAMP
The main aim was to collect documents relating the village's history and to create local history presentations, with the help of archivists (as camp leaders).
But above this, the campers gave us help to provide their impressions about those records, we have selected for the exhibition.
