    In this essay will present the activity of the community culture in the National Archives of Hungary Bekes County Archive. The new strategy of the opening has started in the middle of the 2000’s. During the review of the results I am focusing on our programs, cultural activities, our educational works with regards to the essencial base from the history. At first since 2006 our annual conferences, our gallery in the head building in Gyula and our temporary exhibitions has been providing insight into our daily works in the archive, our scientific works and it makes visible our collections, the actual documents of our history. We’ve had the opportunities to join to some widespread program both in Bekes County and in the country. In these events we have introduced ourselves to new audiences. Meantime we have built a fruitful relationship with the local and county press, hence besides the coverages from our events we have found a new platforms (newspapers, online media, television) for our cultural activities. Our education activities has formed in line with our other programs. If so our prime purpose is the familiarizaton of our institution to younger ranges but we also have created lessons about specific historical topics based on our documents. Often the groups are spread good reputation on our works, or – like the librarians from the city library – returned. After a visit they ofter asked a lesson on the subject of the actual summer camp for elementary school pupils. Essencally the Bekes County Archive have had a successful past decade. We are looking forward the next period, and trying to stand our’s ground in the fields of the comunity culture which is more and more come to the front in the National Archives of Hungary.

    A Magyar Nemzeti Levéltár Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok Megyei Levéltára, más levéltárakhoz hasonlóan, az elmúlt három évtizedben fokozatosan nyitott a társadalom felé. A tanulmány azokra a kérdésekre keresi a választ, hogy Szolnokon hogyan és miért következett be ez a nyitás. A legszegényebb megyék egyikében kis létszámkeret mellett működő közgyűjtemény a gazdasági válság éveiben nem leépítette tevékenységét, hanem új közművelődési projektekkel szakmai és társadalmi elismerést vívott ki magának. Az iratok gyűjtése és a tudományos kutatómunka mellett széles társadalmi kapcsolatokat kiépítő intézmény az országban első levéltárként valósított meg iskolások tanórán kívüli foglalkozásait célzó TÁMOP pályázatot. Sok éves munkával országosan is egyedülálló kapcsolatot épített ki a megye családkutatóival, melynek eredményeként 2017-ben már a második országos családtörténeti konferenciát rendezték meg nagy sikerrel. Időszaki kiállításaival nemcsak a levéltárosok kutatási eredményeit teszi közzé, de mára már a magánszemélyek iratajándékozásait is fellendítette. A levéltár ismertségének és elismertségének növelését nagyban előmozdította, hogy a helyi médiával is szoros kapcsolat épült ki. Bár a megyei levéltárak minisztériumi fenntartás alá kerültek, a levéltárosok továbbra is a helyi lakosság igényeinek kielégítését, a kiépített kapcsolatok megőrzését tekintik elsődleges feladatuknak.

    The study is show the way how the pálinka became a national treasure. Going out to the traditions of distillation, showing the over-centuries-old, not always glorious past of the drink. As a result after the regime change the culture of pálinka consumption is changed as well. While previously only regarded as peasants' morning drink, today's premium product has been upgraded thanks to the Pálinka Act and many other factors. From 2014 onwards, every year, under the Excellence Program, the most excellent spirits are valued as "Country Tasting". Regarding the beginning of distillation, the opinions differ significantly, however, regarding the preparation of concentrated beverages, we can speak about a thousand years of tradition. It is interesting to follow that - while the alcoholists were condemned in the 19th century, and the pálinka was called "just for the naked public good" drink - how it gained recognition and increased to “Hungaricum” rank.
