This article discusses trade and market activities on the north eastern bank of the Lagos Lagoon. Our particular focus is on the Ijebu lagoon market of Ejinrin. During the period covered by this study, Ejinrin was a meeting point for traders from Lagos and those from southeastern Yoruba hinterland. Traders reportedly attended the market not only from Ijebuland but also from places such as Gbongan, Ile-Ife, Ilesha, Oyo, Ilorin, Okitipupa, Owo, Epe, Orimedu, Atijere and other towns in Yorubaland. Colonial records show that attendance at Ejinrin reached between 20,000 and 26,000 on a market day by the end of the nineteenth century and by 1908, the market was rated as the largest market in the whole of the western provinces of Nigeria. Such was the strategic importance of this market that it supplied Lagos with the bulk of the palm oil shipped overseas during the pre-colonial and colonial periods. Thus, the lagoon market occupied a very important place in the local economy of the Ijebu and that of Lagos. This article is an attempt to understand this aspect of the indigenous economy of Nigeria. It is an attempt to analyze and document the history of commercial activities in this geographical zone of the Lagos (Ijebu) Lagoon. The study relied largely on documentary evidence got from the National Archives, Ibadan and extensive oral evidence collected from those who, at one time or the other, had attended the market.

The Baltic

Most of the history of the Baltic States in the 20th century is completely dominated by their relation to the Eastern giant, the Soviet Union. What the Soviet Union represented was not only an authoritarian, and at times, totalitarian rulership but also a constant fear of the unpredictable. Two French military historians, connected with the journal Guerre et Histoire, have recently managed to go through newly opened archives in Russia to unveil the unpredictable career of the most distinguished commander of the Red Army, Gregory Zhukov. Their book entirely confirms the impression among Baltic people that the Soviet Union was fundamentally instable in the sense that anything could happen: state arbitrariness. [...]

Purpose. The purpose of this study is to identify the typological diversity of unrealized publications of the pre-revolutionary Tomsk province at the beginning of the 20th century, details of which are in the censorship affairs of the Main Department of Press Affairs (Russian State Historical Archive) and Tomsk Province Administration (Tomsk Region State Archive). Results. The information preserved in the archives, including the programs of the conceived editions of the cities of the Tomsk pre-revolutionary province, such as Barnaul, Novo-Nikolaevsk, Biysk, Kainsk, and others, make it possible to draw a conclusion about their typological status and, in some cases, to identify the possible reasons why the publication was not carried out. Among them are political motives, economic reasons and organizational difficulties. The conducted study allows us to conclude that the typological picture of the development of journalism in the Tomsk province becomes much more complicated if, along with the realized publications, to take into account unrealized projects of newspapers and magazines. The typology of most of the unrealized editions of the cities of the Tomsk province coincided with the newspapers and magazines of Tomsk, but some of the ideas reflect the desire of journalists to create bodies of periodicals of new types. Conclusion. The studied materials indicate that the study of the history of the development of provincial journalism is impossible without taking into account archival data, which allow us to see the possible vectors of development of the typological picture of the local periodicals.

The article describes the beginning of the activities of the Ukrainian Revolutionary Party and the charging document of the prosecutor of the court of justice, which is stored in the Central State Historical Archive of Ukraine in Lviv, is introduced into scientific use. It allows to concretize information about active party leaders, in particular P. Andrijewskyj, P. Steshenko, M. Popov, G. Kollard, I. Manzheley. It is stated that the first Ukrainian party, which was created in 1900, began its active work in 1902–1903, which attracted the attention of the Department for Protecting the Public Security and Order in Kharkiv. The document that is being published belongs to this period. It is noted that researchers have been studying the history and analysis of the activities of the first Ukrainian party since the 20s of the XX century, in particular, the most fundamental work belongs to the famous political and public figure, historian A. Germeise, who not only brought the history of the party to the reader, but also published 53 leaflets and proclamations of the Revolutionary Ukrainian Party. The sources of private origin also contain a lot of valuable material on the activities of the Ukrainian Revolutionary Party. At the end of the 20th century, various collections of documents devoted to the Ukrainian independence movement were published. However, even today there are a large number of documents that are unfamiliar to a wide range of researchers. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to introduce a document that additionally reflects the activities of the Revolutionary Ukrainian Party at the beginning of the 20th century, into scientific use.

Archival materials of the Polish Agricultural Bank as a source for research on the economic history of the Polish countryside and agriculture in the first half of the 20th c. The body of work of historians regarding the Polish countryside and agriculture in the first half of the 20th century is relatively extensive. The majority of studies on farming primarily address the post-war period, discuss the interwar period to a lesser degree, with barely touching upon the Nazi occupation. The situation is similar when it comes to publications regarding particular areas of agriculture and the means of production. Unfortunately, what those publications have in common is that none of them uses materials connected to agricultural banking. The objective of the article is to encourage those who study or intend to study the economic history of the Polish countryside and agriculture of the first half of the 20th century to research the records of the State Agricultural Bank (1919–1949) kept by the National Archives. Analysis of the publications related to the State Agricultural Bank (hereinafter the PBR) and the archive materials connected with its activity, kept by the National Archives, suggests that: 1. The BPR had a key role in implementing the farming policy of the national authorities and was crucial to the development of agriculture and the countryside; 2. the legacy of the PBR in the National Archives is remarkably vast (tens of thousands of archive units) and covers a wide range of issues, from banking through the development of farming to the situation in the countryside in the first half of the 20th century; 3. the vast credit records of the PBR kept by the National Archives offer a wide range of possibilities for the researchers focused on the economic history of the Polish countryside and agriculture, as they provide a plethora of interesting information on the situation of agriculture and farmers between 1919 and 1949.

Ethiopia is a country of a centuries-old tradition and history of writing. It possessed its own unique system for gathering materials of historical importance and a pecular library system. Throughout the years manuscripts were kept under the custody of Ethiopian Church monks. In the 20th century Ethiopia’s succesive rulers attached great importance to the building of a European style central repository of all written materials. They established and gradually developed the National Archives and Library of Ethiopia (NALE). The paper outlines the history of NALE from its beginnings up to now.

Mass Sources

In the archival funds of the Orthodox and Roman-Catholic Consistories at the National Historical Archive of Belarus mass sources on the personnel are stored – clergy lists and service records of clergy. These documents were recorded each year by representatives of clergy and stored at the Consistories. They allow to carry out a wide number of studies on the history of Belarus and neighboring countries, confessions, everyday life, genealogy, etc. However, their use in scientific purposes is problematic, due to their safety and volume of information. The author of the article, through a comparative analysis of the form and content of the sources, defines approaches to creating mass sources on the clergy staff in the workflow of both confessions and the range of basic and additional information in them. The basic information includes personal data, education, work places, penalties, abilities to further work. If service records of Roman-Catholic clergy almost didn’t change through the end of the 18th – the beginning of the 20th century, clergy lists of orthodox clergies changed in four stages gradually including information about clergy’ family, property, etc. The results would help expand the source base and diversify scientific research.

Straipsnyje aptariami ir įvertinami Antano Maceinos (1908–1987) ir Juozo Girniaus (1915–1994) veikalai, skirti lietuvių tautos kultūrinio ir politinio išliekamumo klausimams sovietų okupacijos ir tautinės emigracijos sąlygomis. Parodoma, jog šiame darbe cituojami minėtų lietuvių filosofų darbai tebėra vieni reikšmingiausių ir teoriškai brandžiausių veikalų, parašytų ne tik emigracijoje, bet ir per visą Lietuvos filosofijos istoriją. Tai reiškia, kad jie neprarado savo konceptualiojo – teorinio ir praktinio – aktualumo ir mūsų laikais, nes Lietuvos istorija, kaip žinoma, turi didesnių abejonių nekeliančių cikliškumo bruožų – ir tai nėra būdinga vien XX amžiui. Agresyvėjanti dabartinės Rusijos politika – jos strategija ir taktika Baltijos valstybių atžvilgiu rodo, jog minėtuosius pokario laikų lietuvių filosofų, gyvenusių ir dirbusių emigracijos sąlygomis, teorinius veikalus dar pernelyg anksti priskirti tik istorinei lietuvių tautos kovų už savąjį valstybingumą ir laisvę praeičiai. Tai reiškia, tad jie tebeturi ir didesnių abejonių nekeliančio amžinojo šiuolaikiškumo žymę. Pagrindiniai žodžiai: tauta, tautinė ištikimybė, kultūra, moralinė atsakomybė.Nation and National Loyalty in the Works of A. Maceina and J. GirniusJonas Balčius   Summary The article focuses on discussing and evaluating works by Antanas Maceina (1908–1987) and Juozas Girnius (1915–1994) dwelling on questions of the cultural and political survival of the Lithuanian nation under harsh conditions of Soviet occupation and NATIONAL emigration. It is demonstrated that works by the Lithuanian philosophers cited here remain among the most significant and theoretically mature contributions not only in the context of emigration, but also in terms of the whole history of Lithuanian philosophy. These works have not lost their conceptual relevance (both in theory and practice) in the modern times as well, because Lithuanian history may be more or less reasonably characterized by certain cyclical traces, and this assertion holds true not only for the 20th century. The increasingly aggressive policy of modern Russia (ruled by the Putin regime), particularly its strategy and tactics in dealing with the Baltic states, clearly indicate it being far too early to attribute these theoretical works by the above mentioned postwar Lithuanian philosophers living and working in the exile to the historical past of the Lithuanian people’s struggle for its national independence and freedom only. On the contrary, this indicates them being undoubtedly marked with the imprint of eternal modernity. Keywords: nation, national loyalty, culture, resistance, moral responsibility.>
