The rich and diverse correspondence of count Istvin Széchenyi is today located in a number of public collections, the mapping of which was indispensable for the preparation of a critical edition. The availability of almost 5000 letters written by Széchenyi today is to a great extent due to the fact that the count himself kept his papers in order, and the family also employed an archivist for the management of the archives. Today, the majority of the Széchenyi letters are preserved in the Hungarian National Archives and the Manuscript Collection of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, but further letters are dispersed in various Hungarian and foreign archives and museums as well. The paper presents all the public collections where such letters are kept, and, if possible, also the circumstances in which these got there. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper presents and publishes new sources, revealed in Spanish archives, which shed new light on Hungarian-Neapolitan relations in the period immediately preceding the marriage of King Matthias of Hungary (1458-1490) and Beatrix of Aragon (1474-1476). One group of sources has survived in the fond of Military Orders of the National Archives at Madrid, among the papers of mixed Valencian origins; these were already published in the Törtédnelmi Szemle (59 [2017] 491-523.) The document pulished in the appendix of the present paper, which has come down to us in the Patronato Real fond of the General Archives of Simancas, is a notarial document issued on 3 September 1474 (or, on the basis of the dating of its appendix, on 11 September), and complements the documents published earlier. The newly uncovered group of sources allows us to establish the chronology and structure of Neapolitan embassies from the period between 1474 and 1476 with greater accuracy, and thus to reconstruct in detail the negotiations that ultimately led to the establishment of the alliance and dynastic relationship between King Matthias and Ferdinand I of Naples.

The paper presents the charters of Prince John Corvinus, illegitimate son of king Matthias Corvinus of Hungary and Bohemia, which relate to his government in the Duchy of Troppau [Opava]. The edited collection of documents numbers a total of 29 charters and writs, only some of which have survived to this day in their original form. On the other hand, some documents exist in copies of various ages and in two cases they are not real charters, but only records of them from the now missing Troppau Chronicle (Chronicon Oppaviense), which was written by the town scribe Henry Polan of Polansdorf from materials stored in the old Troppau city archives. The edited set of documents include all known charters of John Corvinus, either preserved in extenso or at least in the form of excerpts and mentions, and of his officials (provincial governors/Landeshauptmdnner) relating to the Hunyadi ducal government in the Duchy of Troppau. It should be kept in mind, however, that John Corvinuscs "Opavian" documents represent only a small part of a considerable number of charters that were created in an office operating at his princely court.

The article is a written version of the section on general web archiving problems complementing the presentation of Ádám Perger at the 2021 conference “404 Not Found – Who preserves the Internet?”, in which the authors present typical problems they have encountered frequently during the five years of operation of the Web Archive of the National Széchényi Library. Some of these can be solved by the parametrisation the archiving tool or using alternative technology, while others require the involvement of the content provider. The aim of the paper is to raise awareness on how to make websites robotand archive-friendly, similar to the way optimisation is done for accessibility. The article is based partly on the experiences of the Web Archive of the Nation al Széchényi Library and the MIA Wiki knowledge base, and partly on examples collected in the course material for the accredited course of the Library Institute entitled “Internet archiving as a public library task”.

The paper summarizes the activities of the Web Archiving Department of the National Széchényi Library in 2021 in four main fields: archive expansion and enrichment, technological development, knowledge dissemination and cooperation. The author describes the growth of the collection in terms of quantity, topic and genre; briefly presents the archiving and displaying software tested in the past year; lists the various forms of knowledge transfer related to preserving online content; and gives a progress report on the state of cooperation with domestic and foreign institutions and organisations, including the contract signed with the Internet Archive at the end of the year.
