The study is devoted to little-known facts related to the participation and contribution of the troops of the 11th Marching Regiment to the victory achieved in the battles for control of the heavily fortified area in the Machin. The data presented come to fill the gap in the researches regarding the participation of the marching formations and in particular of the 11th Marching Regiment in the battles as part of the 3rd Army. The presented information helps to clarify and supplement the general picture of the events on the front, by revealing specific details of the course of the hostilities, which so far have not fallen within the scope of attention of the scientific community. Also, a good basis is created for the formation of reasonable conclusions about the significance of the achieved victory. Archival materials have been put into circulation, which reveal new facts about the battles in the Dobrudzha region. The presented brief information about the marching regiments and the combat history of the regiment helps to clarify the nature and purpose of these units, taking into account the fact that the available information about them is more than modest and insufficient. The presented data are entirely based on materials from the State Military Historical Archives – Veliko Tarnovo.

A semi-centennial history of compiling the State soil map of Kamchatka is described; the reasons for its correcting and partial alterating are shown including new data about soils and regularities in the soil  development in this peninsula, particular ashes distribution in the region, available satellite imagery of  high resolution. The map was compiled in traditional paper version by using multizonal aerospace Landsat  images, geological maps at 1:1 000 000 and 1: 5 000 000 scales, a hypsometric map at 1: 1 000 000 scale,  the published materials about soils, the vegetation cover and the soil-ash mantle. In general, Kamchatka and its separate regions have been so far examined insufficiently and the compilation of the State soil map assumes an expert character being based upon the comprehensive analysis of different available information on soils. As an example the swampy West-Kamchatka (Pre-Okhotsk) lowland is considered. A list of soils demonstrating on this map is given to show 26 soils, 4 grades according to the particle-size distribution and 2 grades according to the lithologic-mineralogical composition of compacted soil-forming rocks and their genesis.

The article considers the problems of railway construction in Russia in the 19th and early 20th centuries and finds out the available information on one of the fragments of this grandiose construction in the historical literature. Attention is focused on the construction history of one of the important sections of the Trans-Siberian railway – the Irkutsk-Baikal branch railway, which became the foundation of the Circumbaikal railway. This part of the Great Siberian Railway proved to be a very technically complex construction facility and required significant investments from the state. However, it was not easy to approach to its construction. Its creation was preceded by the work of numerous research teams, selfless labour of designers, engineers, technicians and workers. Thanks to their efforts, our country ultimately managed to establish a continuous rail transportation service and unite the western and eastern parts of Russia, which made it possible to maintain the country’s defense capability during the sudden outbreak of the Russian-Japanese War of 1904–1905. The authors specify the main problems that arise when studying the history of the construction and operation of the Irkutsk-Baikal line. They define the range of sources put into circulation by researchers of the designing and construction processes of this road. It is emphasized that the largest number of sources relate to the creation of the line, while the sources which deeply reflect the line operation are few and fragmented.

This manuscript is a history of the family of Muhammad Buji, who led a migration from the town of Bunkari in Argungu (Sokoto State, Nigeria) to Wurno, sometime capital of the Sokoto Caliphate. It is important as an illustration of the ongoing historiographical tradition of Islamic west Africa in local languages, and as evidence of the strong historical sense and continuing production of historical documents by certain of the scholars of the area.Wurno was constructed ca. 1830 by Muhammad Bello, Sultan of Sokoto and successor of Usuman dan Fodio, founder of the Sokoto Caliphate. Its primary purpose was to defend Sokoto from the northeast, and it replaced Magarya as the principal ribat (frontier fortification) and residence of Bello in that area. It also became the staging point for the annual dry season campaigns against the Gobirawa and other enemies of the Caliphate. When the Caliph himself was resident there, it became the capital of the state. Barth referred to it as such in his account of his travels. Wurno was the capital with more and more frequency as the nineteenth century wore on.

W artykule zostały zebrane i opisane źródła ikonograficzne do dziejów herbu miasta Lublina z XV–XVIII w. przechowywane w zasobie Archiwum Państwowego w Lublinie. Wizerunki tego herbu podzielono na trzy grupy w zależności od rodzaju źródła i miejsca występowania znaku. Należą do nich: wyobrażenia na pieczęciach miasta, superekslibrisy na oprawach ksiąg miejskich i zdobienia malarskie o tematyce heraldycznej występujące na kartach tych ksiąg. Najstarsze wizerunki herbu Lublina zachowały się na pieczęciach z początku XV w., które z uwagi na swój urzędowy charakter są też najcenniejszym źródłem heraldycznym. Przedstawiony na nich herb, zarówno w swojej budowie, jak i stylistyce rysunku, był akceptowanym przez władze miejskie znakiem miasta. Z kolei pierwsze barwne wyobrażenia herbu Lublina, ważne dla poznania barw heraldycznych, pochodzą dopiero z pierwszej połowy XVII w. The Image of Lublin’s Coat of Arms in Archival Sources of 15th–18th Centuries The article has collects and described iconographic fifteenth-eighteenth century sources to the history of the Lublin coat of arm, which are kept in the State Archive in Lublin. The images of the coat of arms have been divided into three groups depending on the sort of the source and the place of its occurrence. They include: images on the seals of the town, super-bookplates on the bindings of city registers, and heraldic painting decorations present on the pages of these volumes. The oldest images of the Lublin coat of arms were preserved on seals from the beginning of the fifteenth century which, considering their official character, are also the most precious heraldic source. The coat of arms presented on them, both in its structure and the style of the drawing was the mark of the city, accepted by its authorities. However, the first color images of Lublin’s coat of arms, important for recognizing heraldic colors, come from the first half of the eighteenth century.

Abstract The article explores conflicts related to forests and parks of Estonian towns from the Middle Ages to the 1940s. A brief overview is first given of the development of urban forestry in Estonia. There are also cases where the loss of urban forests and the related problems that arose could have led to conflicts, but for certain reasons they did not emerge. The main focus of the research is on Tallinn and its nearby island of Naissaare and, to a lesser extent, on the town of Haapsalu. The cases with the probability of conflict are described on the example of Tallinn, Tartu and Pärnu. It is apparent that conflicts or preconditions for their emergence were caused by various reasons, both at the state and town level where local authorities and ownership relations played their role. But the causes of the conflicts can also be traced to the wider clash between military and political causes, economic development and the general public.

Mythical Origin

AbstractThis article investigates the relationship between chieftaincy and the state in modern Nigeria. It focuses on politics and the mythical history of kings in the city of Abeokuta and argues that, particularly during the 1990s, the royal politics of the town drew heavily on different versions of mythical history. The reasons are twofold. They concern, first, the traditional political discourse of Yoruba kingship, in which a king's legitimacy can be discussed in terms of the attributes of the royalpersonahe embodies. In this context, legitimacy and status are often discussed as the first king's mythical origin. However, the continued political relevance and even volatility of this discourse in the 1990s related to the nature of the Nigerian state, in which traditional status is closely associated with political power.

History Of Crime

Abstract Crime and Ostracism in the medieval court records of Kulm. As a High Court (Oberhof) of the State of the Teutonic Order in Prussia, the town of Kulm on the Vistula was a center of Magdeburgian law in eastern Central Europe. The article discusses some aspects of criminal practice, which are provided by the recently edited court records of said city from the 14th through the 16th century. Primarily, they show the ostracisms (Verfestungen) of offenders on the run. Because they could be apprehended by anyone - not just the accuser -, the offenders were forced to either conclude a settlement with the victim or hand themselves in to the court. The court records give no information about offenders who had been seized and judged immediately after committing the crime (handhafte Tat). Therefore, albeit the sources contain interesting facts on the history of crime, they don’t allow a complete crime statistics of the town.

Powołane przez Radę Miejską w 1887 r. Archiwum Aktów Dawnych Miasta Krakowa wzbogacało swój zasób dzięki darom przekazywanym przez mieszkańców – zarówno archiwaliów czy muzealiów, jak i książek. Natomiast działające od 1878 r. Krajowe Archiwum Aktów Grodzkich i Ziemskich w Krakowie, podlegające galicyjskim władzom krajowym, zaufanie ofiarodawców zaczęło zyskiwać dopiero po przejęciu w 1919 r. przez władze polskie. Te działania kontynuowało od 1952 r. Wojewódzkie Archiwum Państwowe w Krakowie, powstałe z połączenia obu archiwów (obecnie Archiwum Narodowe w Krakowie). Wspieranie powstających w Krakowie w XIX w. muzeów i bibliotek gromadzących pamiątki minionej świetności Rzeczypospolitej było uznawane za patriotyczny obowiązek, z czasem dawało możliwość zabezpieczenia dla przyszłych pokoleń dokumentów rodzinnych, materiałów wytworzonych przez osoby aktywnie działające na różnych polach czy instytucji lub organizacji, które zakończyły działalność. Archiwum zawsze z wdzięcznością przyjmuje ofiarowywane archiwalia dotyczące Krakowa, Małopolski czy szerzej Galicji, bowiem misją archiwów państwowych jest zachowanie wszelkich materiałów archiwalnych będących źródłem do dziejów Polski i jej mieszkańców. Expansion of archival resources through donations. A contribution to the events of the National Archives in Krakow and its predecessors in the 19th–21st centuries Established by the Town Council in 1887, the Krakow Town Archives of Former Records enriched its resources thanks to donations from inhabitants – both archival materials or museum items, and books. However, operating from 1878, the Local Archives of Records of the Courts for the Nobility in Krakow, under the Galician authorities, only began to obtain the trust of benefactors after it was taken over by Polish authorities in 1919. These activities continued from 1952 in the form of the State Archive of the Krakow Province, founded through a merger of both archives (currently the National Archives in Krakow). Supporting the museums and libraries founded in Krakow in the 19th century that collected souvenirs of the past greatness of the Republic was regarded as a patriotic duty, providing an opportunity to safeguard for future generations family documents, materials created by those active in various fields or institutions and organisations which have ended their activities. The Archives always gratefully accepts donated archival materials connected with Krakow, Malopolska or Galicia, as the mission of the state archives is to store all archival materials that could be a source of information concerning the history of Poland and its inhabitants.
