    The State Archives of Debrecen – the predecessor of the National Archives of
    Hungary's Hajdú-Bihar County Archives – was established in 1952 by the integration of
    the three municipality's archives: Debrecen city, Bihar and Hajdú counties. In 1968,
    after a 17-year-old state history, the archives were returned to the counties, and after
    that, the State Archives of Debrecen has functioned as the Hajdu-Bihar County
    Archives. In 1981, a branch archive was established in Hajdúböszörmény where the
    Hajdú district's documents were returned to. In effect from 1st January 2012, the
    Archives returned to state maintenance, and the National Archives of Hungary was created on 1st October of the same year. Thereby, the institutional autonomy of the
    county archives ceased, but the contents of public service provision have not changed.
    The documentary materials of the Archives allow an insight to the history of
    Debrecen city and the former counties of Hajdú and Bihar since 1950, Hajdú-Bihar
    county and its settlements.
    The Archives maintains a research service at three places. The researchers have the
    opportunity to get photo- and digital copies, or to take photos of the documents.
    The Archives, operating also as a scientific institution since 1969, takes care of
    several series besides the special publications; and since 1973, it organizes the Archives
    Day of Hajdú-Bihar County Archives, as well as numerous conferences and smaller
    events associated with the institute. Within and outside the borderlines of the county,
    the Archives regularly appears with travelling- and temporary exhibitions.

    At the beginning of the last quarter of the 19th century, the administrative system in Hungary underwent significant changes, as the laws of 1876 (XXXIII) and 1877 (I) dissolved the historically outdated privileged territories that had existed for centuries – including the Hajdú district – and incorporated them into the county system, resulting in the establishment of Hajdú County based in Debrecen. The idea of this had already emerged after the suppression of the 1848–49 revolution and war of independence – during which North and South Bihar counties were created – but after multiple reorganizations, by the end of 1860 and early 1861, the previous county system was restored, including the privileged territories. Following the Compromise of 1867, the demand for administrative reform intensified: in 1871, settlements were categorized into orderly council cities, large villages, and small villages. From 1872, the separation of administration and justice was introduced within counties and districts, district courts were established, large districts were dissolved and replaced with subdivisions/districts. The final step was the dissolution of various sized privileged territories in 1876–1877. The definitive formation of Hajdú County was preceded by more than three years of "struggle", beginning in 1873, during which Debrecen emerged victoriously with the support of Hajdúszoboszló, as the city became the seat of the county, to which six hajdú towns from Szabolcs and several villages from Bihar and Szabolcs were attached. Its territory remained unchanged until 1945, when two large villages (Nyírábrány and Nyírmártonfalva) were annexed from Szabolcs County, and then, in parallel with the establishment of the council system, Hajdú-Bihar County was created on March 16, 1950.

    This study is intended to present the biggest challenge in the history of Berettyóújfalu in the 20th century: the period of the settlement's transformation into a county seat after 1920. As a result of the catastrophic Trianon peace treaty for Hungary, a decisive part of Bihar County, including its ancient seat in Oradea, was annexed to Romania. Berettyóújfalu could then play a leading role in the recovery of the remaining Csonka-Bihar. The town, which cherished ambitions to become a city since the beginning of the period of dualism, achieved its goal, even if not in accordance with the original idea: although it remained a town in its status, mainly due to a forced trajectory due to a tragedy, it could become the centre of 61 settlements in the remaining Bihar County. The eight years immediately following the change of empire are presented, 1920–1928, which counted as the most eventful period in the history of the county centre, starting from the loss of Bihar through the reorganization of public administration to the handover of the public hospital.

    The Méliusz Juhász Péter Library was created by the incorporation of the Debrecen City Library and the Méliusz Juhász Péter County Library in 2013, although it has already been performing local history activities via its legal predecessors for more than sixty years. The Local History- and Photo Collection, operating inside the new building, serves the research needs related to settlements of Bihar county and Hajdú-Bihar county. It collects and processes the county- and settlement monographs, local history bibliographies, volume studies, yearbooks, maps, newspapers, photographs, small prints. It performs local knowledge media monitoring, and builds electronic database from its material. The library organizes local-related exhibitions, book presentations, local history lectures and gives opportunities for local history researchers to present their research. During its activities, it diversely cooperates with educational and cultural institutions in Hajdú-Bihar County. The collection’s material can be used locally by registered and daily reader’s ticket owners.

    The National Archives of Hungary’s Hajdú-Bihar County Archives, the Méliusz Ju-
    hász Péter Library and Oradea’s Mayor’s Office won a 110 million HUF tender in the
    framework of the Hungarian-Romanian cooperation (HURO) in 2009. The work
    started on 1st May 2010 and lasted for a year, and the sustainability of the undertaken
    work must be granted for five more years. Besides the devices, the institutes have spent
    the amount on events, publications, data digitization and on the construction of
    databases.
    In the National Archives of Hungary’s Hajdú-Bihar County Archives, the staff made
    five detached databases, in which the documents of the historical Bihar County’s past
    have been processed: diplomas, manuscript maps, rule regulations, hydrological records
    and church registers. The data and/or attachment upload is still in progress.
    One of the partner institutions: Oradea’s Mayor’s Office created a database for
    those Council Proceedings that were created before the unification of the four sections
    of the town in 1850.
    In the Méliusz Juhász Péter Library, more than 450 local history-themed books,
    journals, school year books and school-records, etc. were digitized into database that is
    assigned to a search engine and a browser.

    We know very little about the history of the extreme right in Bihar, the literature has never dealt with it, just like what the case was with other areas. Bihar county never belonged to the nests of the extreme right (unlike Zala, Szabolcs, or the not very far-off city of Debrecen). Nevertheless, three important events can be emphasized. One is that the main delegate of the Scythe Cross movement was from Bihar and wanted to clear theground for their ’military’ putsch in Bihar. The second event was that here was the first time that a candidate with a National Socialist programme ran for office at an interim parliamentary election. And last, the last open election of the Hungarian history took place here: it was an interim election in 1939, less than 4 months before the first and at the same time last secret parliamentary election of the era, at which one of the candidates was a National Socialist candidate. I aim to deal with these topics, enumerating a couple of pieces of data first as an introduction about the extreme right embedded nature of the county. Next, I introduce the sued Lajos Hatvani, who lived through the lawsuits against scythe crossers as the mainaccused person. In the third section, I review the interim elections of September 1933 and 2nd February 1939. In 1933, Zoltán Böszörmény himself, the leader of the scythe crossers, ran inefficiently, and in 1939, there were two challengers of the ruling party: a yeoman and an arrow-crosser also ran. The day of the latter election, as it turns out from the press of the period, was rather eventful, and it provides a great report on the political arrangement of the Horthy Era.

    A county which had continuously been exposed to Turkish incursions lying between the Kingdom of Hungary and Transylvania, and in which there were far-reaching fights for its possession provides an excellent research opportunity. The reason for this is that inthe second half of the 16th century, not only the Principality of Transylvania was beingformed, but Partium was also emerged by the name of Tiszántúl Parts largest region ofwhich was Bihar County. In the present study, I examined the site censuses of the 16th Century Bihar County preserved between 1552 and 1597, and the house censuses between 1598 and 1599. Most importantly, I would like to show – by using unpublished, primary sources and merging the results of the literature up to the present day – howimportant data can be retrieved by examining the site- and house censuses. My future goal is to map the society of holders, based on the censuses.

    The historian profession has, by now, clarified that the so-called Horthy-regime was an
    authoritarian political structure where one-party dominance prevailed but other political
    trends could also organize themselves with relative freedom.
    One of the most interesting feature of this system was the operation of the limited
    parliamentary system, which was provided by the suffrage between 1922 and 1938.
    Until 1938/39, all constituencies of Bihar county voted openly, just like in the county
    seat town, Berettyóújfalu. The secret ballot was restored in 1938 (1938th XIX. Tc.) and
    the last election of the era was held based on this in May 1939. Primarily due to the
    open voting, Bihar was considered a ruling party side county, although during the
    1930’s, some opposition political movements such as the support of Smallholders and
    the far-right (Nazi) party were also in rise here, just like in many other counties of the
    Great Plain region.

    In her study, the author presents the major turning points and several Bihar connections of the voluntary ethnographic collection in Hungary. In recent years, several pieces of history of science research works have been published on certain related topics and periods, and we can use these to briefly outline the historical development and institutionalization of voluntary collections. Such major movements and organizations were the following: at the beginning of the 20th century, the Hungarian class of Folklore Fellows; after World War II, the Landscape and Folklore Research; from 1952, the National Ethnographic and Linguistic Collection Tender; from 1968, the Native Land-Presenter Movement; also from 1990, the National Heritage Association; and finally, from 2013, the Tradition Ethnography Collection Tender. With regards to the Hajdú-Bihar County, mention the Cultural Movement ‘Korunk Valósága’ (The Reality of our Time) needs to be mentioned, which had been operating since 1969; and the Cultural Movement from Hortobágy to Sárrét since 1976, as well as the Hajdú-Bihar County and Debrecen Native Land-Presenter Association, which has been operating since 1991.

    The national guards established in Hungary, including in Bihar County, Nagyvárad, and Debrecen, were local law enforcement forces. However, the difficult situation of the country required the mobilization of the national guards and their deployment to various battlefields (Southern Hungary, Transylvania, Zaránd County). This study presents the operations of the national guards of the aforementioned authorities in Transylvania.

    In our study, we concentrate on the Romanian occupation of the area of Bihar county. For this topic, we have used documents of deputy-lieutenants, and death records from the settlements of the county, the press data from Oradea and Salonta in Hungary, as well as the local history literature. For the time being, we have not been able to examine Romanian resources, so the occupation can only be described on the basis of Hungarian archival documents. We briefly discuss the conflicts in the region and their consequences, and we present everyday life.

    The 1956 material contained in the Oral History Collection of the Hajdú-Bihar County Archives of the Hungarian National Archives might become an important resource for the researchers of the topic. The collection does not contain topic interviews, but it tries to present the antecedent lives of the participants, their roles during the revolution, and the time periods afterwards via complete life course interviews. By the latter, that is, through the passion of people struck by retaliation, the life of lawsuits and prison life also comes alive. The number of the ’56 interviews contained in the collection is 38, which is more than half of the complete assortment of interviews. Of course, most interviews are connected to Debrecen (19 interviews), the second most related is Hajdúnánás (8 interviews), followed by Berettyóújfalu (3 interviews), and then the material of the individual county settlements with one interview each. The interviews were prepared by Tibor Valuch (27 interviews) and Zoltán Völgyesi (11 interviews) in the years after the change of regime. The ranking of interviews in the collection follows the order of the date of entry.

    There were several pottery centres in the historical Bihar county region, all of which look back at a long line of history. However, it is difficult to create a valid picture of the pottery of former centuries, since very few dishes remained in the collections of museums, the place and time of preparation of which is known. Therefore, the vessels of the Lord’s table play a crucial role regarding the research of ceramics, because as they are unique decorative pots, in most cases, their makers left their name, date and place of making on them. These pieces of data might mean a starting point to determine the origins of other pottery without a date, such as the products of the so far little researched pottery centres of Bihar with a long history. In my study, I analyse the vessels of the Lord’s table that were made for the parishes of Bihar in the olden pottery centres of Bihar: Belényes, Mezőtelegd, Oradea, Marghita and Salonta.

    A joint episode of a town in Hajdú-Bihar County and a village in Tolna county was written in Hungarian history of the 20th century. The politicians of the post-war coalition period began to write the story, the completion of which was very much urged by the expectations of the masses, the irresponsible promise of a carefree new life, a feverish campaign, and perhaps a compulsion resulting from being a war loser. In the history of Derecske and Györköny, the common chapter was forced by internal migration processes that started in 1945 resulting from the land reform and the relocation of the Hungarian Germans in close connection with it. I have tried to explore the events so that we could remember, together with the people of the Tiszántúl Region, to what had happened. In quest of finding the truth, I have called not only the press articles of the time and literature for help, but also the memories of those who directly lived through the events. The bitter consequences of the political decisions of that time were shared by settled Hungarians and indigenous Germans.

    In my study, I examine the distribution by places of origin of the locksmith apprentices joining the guild in Debrecen at the end of the 18th and during the 19th century. The basis of the analysis was the register of the locksmith guild of Debrecen as included in the Hajdú-Bihar County Archives of the Hungarian National Archives, which also contains the contract entries of the apprentices. I have been able to identify the place of origin of nearly 1,100 apprentices between 1780 and 1884, so I have been able to include 92% of the apprentices recorded by the scrivener. Apprentices arrived to Debrecen from 143 settlements, mostly from the villages and market towns of Bihar County. To find out more about the multiplicity of origin composition, I searched for answersto the following questions: Could the rural masters belonging to the Debrecen guild hire apprentices?; Which counties did the apprentices arrive to Debrecen and in what amounts?; Did more apprentices come from rural towns or villages?; Does the agglomeration designated by the places of origin of the apprenticescover the 19th-century market area of Debrecen?

    Since Bihar County's archival material preserved from the early 18th century therefore it is a real treasure for local history researchers. Its old pages are reporting about the history of the county and several settlements but also about significant, important, and sometimes simply interesting events. An example of the latter are the second exhumation protocol minutes of György Bessenyei, "the hermit of Bihar", who was one of the most dominant personalities of the Enlightenment. The document was lurking for decades and the coffin spike right next to it was also long-forgotten. I present the minutes by the occasion of the poet's 270th birth anniversary as a first stage of an ongoing research.

    Both the power struggles after Stalin’s death, and the new course of Soviet leadership in the Cold War lead to a turn in the Hungarian government, as well. The Stalinist Rákosi was succeeded by Prime Minister Imre Nagy, and his reign started off with a huge wave of reform declarations. The whole country was relieved as a result of the measures that somewhat mitigated the repression of the system and slightly raised living standards. The reforms met also in Hajdú-Bihar an almost unanimous sympathy: from the cooperative owners through the individual peasants, from the working class through the intelligentsia, every social layer in the county found the parts they liked in the government program. However, several people wanted to see more in the reforms than what they indeed meant, at some places, people saw even the complete retirement of the system behind these measures. The party apparat took the measures facilitating everyday life (the “new period”) uncomprehendingly nation-wide, thus even in Hajdú-Bihar, and therefore they moved sluggishly to realize those measures, finding them too much. When the evolution of foreign policy of the Cold War created unfavourable conditions, the Soviet government also drew back from Imre Nagy. Therefore, the reform era – that was happily welcomed and that compelled further hopes, and at some places, illusions – ended.

Csobán traveled to London to get acquainted with and learn the essential modern techniques of repairing diplomas in the National Archives of Britain, in the Public Record Office. The passage published here is from the first notebook. He recorded his journey starting from the preparations and the events that happened to him between 27 July 1929 and 16 August 1929 in a 16.5 x 10.5 cm, greenish-brown, cloth-bound, lined booklet. Endre Csobán's diaries are important contemporary documents that provide cultural history, political and literary additives. Moreover, they are also valuable from the point of view of researching and writing personal history, and generally, from the historical psychology side. The the finely toned image of the inner life of the writer unfolds from the entries which portray a man who is receptive about and responsive to the things of the world.

    The elaborations of the history of rural Jewry in general can be claimed to be clearly defined by the Holocaust. The property and partly legal retaliation of the pre-Soa period, followed by the return, resumption, and disappearance of the surviving Jewry from the rural society, is usually only briefly mentioned in the works written about it, as an aftertaste of the events of the emergency. In this study, I present these less researched resources of the disappearance of the Jews from Berettyóújfalu, comparing it with another Hajdú-Bihar county town, Hajdúnánás. At the end of the war, a small number of local Jews returned home deprived of their families. A few tried to restart their lives in Berettyóújfalu, but there were others who never returned to their birthplace. Some of them tried to reorganize their lives in the land of their ancestors, then called Palestine, later Israel. In my study, I am talking about the vicissitudes of those who stayed for a while in the hope of a new beginning, but later, having experienced the communist dictatorship, left.

    In the 18th century, migration was continuous in Nyíregyháza. In addition to the organized settlers from the 1750s, spontaneous arrivals also increased the population, which continued to grow. At the same time, the difficulties of personal prosperity, the hindrance of free religious practice and the promises of new settlements contributed to emigration and onward migration, one of the destinations of which was Bihar County. In accordance with migration, the misinterpreted descriptions of the specialized literature occasionally lead to the drawing of inaccurate conclusions, but the lack of resources does not always allow the exploration of the causes of migration, the knowledge of its course, and the analysis of its consequences. In the 18th century history of Nyíregyháza, it is also an open question why so many people moved to Monospetri in 1794, how they fit in there, why they did not become as dominant in public life as the people from Békés who also came here, and also, who and when returned, and why they did so. An overview of the past of the two settlements by comparing the nomenclature allows interesting conclusions to be drawn, the proof of which, however, requires the discovery of new resources.

    Reviewing the history of Hungarian parliamentary and national assembly election processes reveals numerous regional differences in the development of political life; different experiences shaped public affairs in cities and the countryside, which are less apparent at the macro level. This study aims to provide an overview of the Berettyóújfalu electoral district in Bihar County from the introduction of the popular representation system to the last election of the Horthy era, i.e., from 1848 to 1939. The main sources for this overview are the latest specialized literature, archival data, and contemporary press reports. This analysis describes the territorial changes of the electoral district, the evolution of the number of eligible voters, and the identity and party affiliations of the candidate representatives. These three aspects proved suitable for revealing patterns that also delineate new directions for research.

    1613 is an important date both in the history of the Royal Hungary and of the Principality of Transylvania. In this year, the Turks put an end to the reckless and inordinate political career of Gábor Báthory, helping his former devotee, Gábor Bethlen, into the throne of Transylvania. With this, a long blooming started in the life of the Principality. The centre of Bihar county, the castle of Várad played an important strategical role already during the 15-Year War, Várad meant the gate to Transylvania. The Royal Hungary put efforts into getting the castle back – in vain – even after the death of Gábor Báthory. András Nagylucsei Dóczy received order for the turning over of Várad first as a royal commissioner, and then as the chief of the Castle of Szatmár. In my study, I present the relationship of the two castles in the closing days of the principality of Gábor Báthory based on the extensive correspondence of the chief of Szatmár.

    The cholera epidemic of 1831 came to Hungary from Galicia that belonged to the Austrian Empire. The epidemic broke out in Debrecen on 24th July 1831, and claimed thelives of 7.4% of the city's population, or more precisely, 2152 people. The resources detailing the events of the Cholera epidemic in Debrecen can be read in the Hajdú-Bihar County Archives of the Hungarian National Archives. This study presents the report of József Zsebők that shows in more detail the local event from the outburst of the epidemic to the release of the quarantine in October. The highly detailed report by Ádám Reviczky, General Chancellor, presented on 9th December 1831, nicely reflects what the contemporary medicine thought about the cholera disease and how they tried to cure it. This resource is essential not only from a point of view of local history, but also from a medical historical point of view, as – besides exploring the characteristics of the disease – it provides an authentic picture of the medical conditions, medical treatments, and even of the medicines of the time. In the bibliography, modern transcription was used, preserving the characteristic features of language or dialect.

    After the outbreak of the War of Independence, hallmarked by the name of Ferenc Rákóczi II, István Buday (bölsei), who served as the deputy granger of Bihar county between 1688 and 1701, was among the first rebels. In the Tokaj vineyard, he came to the neighbourhood of both Rákóczi and Miklós Bercsényi, establishing the base that provided a loyal and soldier for the revolution. István Buday climbed the ladder quickly: he became court captain, then chief of the Hajdú towns of Szabolcs, and later commander of the regiment of the Hajdú towns. The depths and heights that characterize the war of independence can also be traced in the military career of the former deputy granger. We can examine these in the framework of the present study. István Buday, who served in the War of Independence until his death, was the appropriate type of soldier of the time: he was an underqualified but experienced fortress warrior, participating in raids and smaller campaigns. This paper focuses on the eight years of the War of Independence, with special attention payed to the military career of the captain of the Hajdú towns.

    The City Museum of Hajdúböszörmény was opened in 1924, which was a long-awaited event in the city’s cultural life. In 1949, the Museum was declared a public collection and became a scientific institute with full-fledged rights. In 1951, it picked up the Hajdúsági Museum name, and at that time, its first permanent exhibition was opened, which was followed by new ones on the expansion of the museum’s materials. The Museum took its place in the former Hajdú District Hall (which is a historical memorial since 1st January, 2012). As the largest regional museum of Hajdú-Bihar county, its primary task is to collect, preserve and process the material and spiritual values of the six „old” Haiduk towns (Hajdúböszörmény, Hajdúszoboszló, Hajdúnánás, Hajdúdorog, Hajdúhadház and Vámospércs) and to present those to the wider public. In addition, it performs a wide range museum education work, and takes part in the most important events of the museum profession, supported by civil associations and volunteers.
