This research portrays a part of the intellectual circle of Milovan Gavazzi and his correspondence with his colleagues from Slovenia. It is founded on archival research of some correspondence from ...the personal fund of Milovan Gavazzi held at the Croatian State Archives, used as a historical source. Special attention is paid to correspondence with Angelos Baš from 1960 to 1973.
The Croatian Ethnographic Heritage in the Context of Cultural Policy project (130-1300855-3477) operated with extensions from 2008 to 2013. Themembers of the project at the time were project leader ...Dr. Tihana Petrovic Leš, Dr. Nevena Škrbic Alempijevic, research fellows Sanja Loncar and Petra Kelemen,Dr. Žarko Španicek from the Požega Conservation Department, Dr. Branka Vonjovic Traživuk from the Split Ethnographic Museum, and students Matija Dronjic and Ivica Filipovic. The project was co-financed through funds from Croatia’s Ministry of Science, Education, and Sport, Ministry of Tourism, Ministryof Culture, the Entrepreneur Centre and Tourist Board of the town of Vinodol, the municipality of Bol, and the town of Lepoglava. The project’s members observed ethnographic heritage as the result of discharge from the overall cultural inventory, which thus ceases to be a part of everyday life, instead becoming defamiliarised and reconstructing itself as a symbol of local, regional, and/or national identity.
Textile metal threads were used to decorate historical Croatian textiles. There are three basic types of metal threads usually used on historical textiles in Croatia. These are narrow stripes, wires, ...and combined metal textile yarn called "srma", made of metal thread spirally wrapped around the nonmetal textile yarn. Textile yarns were made of silk, linen, wool, or cotton. Metal threads were primarily made of gold, silver, and copper, and different alloys of these metals or threads are layered in the structure. Analysis of metal threads with three different methods was made and the most adequate method for the analysis of metal threads from historical textiles was established. Metal thread analysis was performed with scanning electron microscopy with an energy-dispersive X-ray detector (SEM-EDX), which was determined to be the most suitable for the analysis of historical textiles if cross-section analysis of metal threads is also performed. Textile threads from combined metal textile threads were analysed with a light microscope. This information of the metal threads' content and structure as well as the composition of textile thread can lead to an understanding of the technology of production threads and also temporal and spatial dating of textile objects which is helpful to conservators and restorers of valuable historical textiles.
ABSTRACT IN CROATIAN: U ovom se radu vez promatra kao kulturna djelatnost unutar polisistema narodne umjetnosti oblikovane u svrhu nacionalne integracije djelovanjem skola, ustanova i pojedinaca. Iz ...niza vezilackih tehnika zbog zanimljivosti problematike i cestoce pojavljivanja u raznim izvorima. izdvojen je pecki, vez, te je promatran u duljem vremenskom odsjecku. // ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: Pec embroidery phenomenon was observed in the period of about a hundred years with its manufacturers, consumers, market, products and manufacture organization based on different sources and according to polysystem theory principles. It was recognized and chosen by renowned connoisseurs of textile manufacturing skills as a type of old embroidery, reshaped after the taste of the bourgeois class, and returned to the country by way of handicraft classes in schools and organized home handiwork. It was concluded that Pec embroidery developed precisely due to the interactions between high and peasant cultures. It was accepted in villages and towns by the end of 19th century when it became a part of the Croatian bourgeois society popular culture. It was especially important between the two World Wars when it gained a prominent role in the processes of national integration of the Croatian society and its meaning as a type of old Croatian embroidery.

Ovim prilogom autorica se zalaže za ...istraživanja dokolice i turističkih aktivnosti hrvatskih intelektualaca, napose u razdoblju šezdesetih i sedamdesetih godina 20. stoljeća, da bi se dobila potpunija slika turizma, ali ujedno i načina života toga vremena. Rad ujedno doprinosi poznavanju svakodnevice i historije intelektualaca.
